Mark R Slaughter - Ambiguity...

thrives again:

Bloody cocoa -
Cadbury creaming Easter,
Dusting down
From Christmas -

Another killing
Thrilling young
Enterons -
And self-serving elders
Fogged in milk and dark

While:

How distant cries our church,

WAY OUT! -

Rarefied -

Mist

Di ss ip at ing

Thro' modernistic cynicism,
Commercialised eternity:

'What of Jesus? ' -
When the diapason drones
Expedience
Through 8-foot drab-grey
Obligations -
Parishioners down at the local
Are so demanding! -
Forget Bach -
You'll need to see the show at your cathedral
(Bishop's Broadway) for extra entertainment -

Wrists are under-worked
For organists
At Easter -
Says it all,
Really -
Singing disingenuously
Doesn't cut it -
It ain't a passport;

Tho'
A psalm for children out of school

Lends well to ragged ears,
So pull out the brighter stops:

But

What's Easter?
