Idolatry

Idolatry

A Poem by N. Hadley

Don't idolize the man
who drives the newest car
home to this playgirl trophy wife 
sitting at home waiting to 
spend his money.
Don't idolize the man 
who eats the finest steak dinner in 
a five-star los angeles or new york
city restaurant, alongside a 
smorgasbord of 
who's who.
Idolize the man who dirty, hungry
and sweaty runs into the 
street, stares up at the blue sky
and cries out 
"WHY?" 
and stands there
stalwart, focused on a god and
the cosmos,
awaiting a suitable answer.
