Telling someone they should love Jesus won't make them love Him,
relationships take minute after threaded minute to find a pattern,
Mom won't always be around at Christmas.
What I mean is, those shoes,
they make things too simple, too self-adhesive--
when really, things like parents and hearts
and churches fall apart all the time.
Babies die in swollen bellies,
and women birth death.
People starve and poverty thrives.
I don't know what I'm getting at, except--
those damn shoes are a lie.
