SOUL

by Frank John Edwards




It must be that something is broke,
When the sermons that Jesus once spoke,
Would land him in trouble
In some Christians’ bubble
For being excessively woke.


Frank John Edwards is a former military helicopter pilot, now a writer and physician living in rural New York. He has had poems published in various journals including the Virginia Quarterly Review.
