Douglas Tanoury On The Right Side of God At the Second Baptist Church Black angels in stained-glass windows Guard the front entrance And I think that God so loves diversity That Cherubim of color Wearing golden garb Sing Gospel that makes the Saints Slap their sacred knees And I know that Seraphim sing the Blues so plaintive and compelling that Bare feet that bear the wounds of nails Tap the holy floors of heaven In perfect time with the rhythm And every Saint and Martyr sways On the right side of God Want to respond to this poem?
