Today’s word is “desuetude” ... the state of being no longer used or practiced. (Dictionary.com)
Lost
So many traditions falling,
Into the sea of desuetude,
Even within holy walls,
Where faith warm, was imbued.
Where deep rivers used to run,
There are mere trickles now,
And people wondering around,
Searching for their solemn vows.
Suspicion has replaced the priest,
Selfish will the scripture’s place,
Humans thinking they’re in charge,
Ignoring God’s good grace.
