On A Church Council Poem by Bill Grace

On A Church Council



When our chieftains resigned en masse
The tribe went into shock,
Not well to begin with, I went into shock
I did not understand that a distant council had the power to destroy us
Distance was no longer a protection
I did not understand the passions that would be released
Was caught in my blind spot
And simply was ashamed
To confess my ignorance as well as my fear
To those I count as friends.
