omg rejection letter

Charles Martin

we regret

to inform you

that your application

for sainthood

has been

denied

please note

this is

no reflection

upon what you’ve been

saying

but

praying for

the poor

the homeless

peace

et cetera

is not

the same as

doing

something

for those individuals

areas of concern

your wishful prayers

are indeed

characteristic of

admirable personality

and

we appreciate

your frequent

and

considerable

soliloquies with us

but

we’re

rather filled up

with folks

with

good

intentions

Author: The Bardo Group Beguines

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page. View All Posts
