Electric Unholy Ghost
by Sabrina Dawkins
Stop talking, still small voice.
We’ve “evolved”
to consume endless fiction
conveniently in our residence.
Satan’s Anti-Holy Spirit
travels through black cords
at the speed of darkness.
Pictures and sound forever circling,
nurturing beast nature,
evil spirits inside.
We trust in animal eyes
not invisible faith,
so give us two-dimensional stars
and “experts” on the screen
to dazzle the brain,
an incapacitating drug.
Entertainment above obedience.
Comedy over bitter truth.
Celebrity over saints.
Media as electric Unholy Ghost.
