Richard Schnap- A Poem


NAKED FAITH

(An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth)
There was a warrant out for his arrest

(Though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death I will fear no evil)
Her psych meds made her gain 80 pounds

(To everything
There is a season)
He hadn’t had a girlfriend in 30 years

(Let he who is without sin
Cast the first stone)
She learned the FBI had a record on her

(Do unto others as you would
Have them do unto you)
She discovered her husband’s many affairs

(From dust I have made you
And to dust you will return)
He ground out his last cigarette
