Shelter In Place

The church is an essential space
For all the folks who worship there;
It is the place they learn to care
For everyone of every race.
It is the perfect sort of place
To learn that God is everywhere:
That every inch of earth must share
In holy sempiternal grace.
If you cannot conceive a church
(A synagogue, a mosque, a shrine)
Without the people gathered in
It's you, not they, who thus besmirch
The name of holy, or divine:
To threaten lives is always sin.
