The cross rises out of the high ground
Above the freeway, like a mighty white
Sword stabbed provocatively into
The bosom of the heartland
Looking down with righteous indignation:
The thousands of Buddhists, m**ms
Atheists and Jews, Hindus and
Agnostics who
Bravely make their way
Albeit uncomfortably
Through the narrow pa**ages of hypocrisy
Toward the beckoning horizon
…of an American dream.
