faith

there is a song called The Faith.

<< a cross on every hill,
a star, a minaret,
so many graves to fill --
oh love, aren't you tired yet?
_so many graves to fill --
oh love,
aren't you tired yet. >>

i love that if this poet had his way, when you opened up the dictionary to look up faith, this is what the entry would be.

the moon has risen and the dog is howling along to the day's final prayer call.
