Madness And The Church Poem by Douglas Scotney
Madness And The Church
The thought that a church
might make others holy
after those who stopped going
closed it down,
transformed it to an asylum
where the residents sigh,
we'd be fine were we 'whole';
why mess us up with the 'y'?

A fine distinction between 'holy' and 'wholly'-homophones. Madness and religion could well go together as cause and effect, in some believers. A most subtle poem of great depth.
