When no one is looking
Slip off to the malls
There you will find true faith,
But not a people - that being blessed - are happy.
Even at the ice cream shop
With perfect evening sunlight
I can not help but see this in those who pass
Most are not happy.
They believe in a faith
You are not studying in seminary.
It does not grant them peace
Only the imperative of having more and more
Of things that do not work for peace.
