"A Christian Country"
Langston Hughes

God slumbers in a back alley
With a gin bottle in His hand.
Come on, God, get up and fight
Like a man.

This reminds me a lot of Neil Gaiman's novel "American Gods".

That was a wonderful book (how could it not be, with Neil Gaiman writing it?)! I need to reread it.

Nice one. I really like short poems. They actually make me think lots.
