The church is a business, and the rich
are the business men.
poor come piling in and when a poor man dies, he has a wooden
cross, and they rush through the ceremony.
But when a rich man dies, they
drag out the Sacrament
and a golden Cross, and go doucement, doucement
to the cemetery.
And the poor love it
and think it's crazy.

I love this poem. It really rocks. Thanks for putting it here (heart). And the church in the distance puts me into Tuscan dreams.
And if Bob were here he might say, It's crazy.
And, You dig?
