RELIGION Poem: APOLOGY, by Arran James Grant

no religion
as a child my god was my father and my goddess was my mother
and that’s how I excused their suffering
because the gods are stabbed and shot and spat on and suffer eternally
and no one ever notices

and it wasn’t until I was an adult with a-stabbing and a-shooting and a-spitting of my own that
I realised

and dammit
I’m sorry.
