polls show

after the destruction of the city
polls show that 70 percent
of people have a greater faith in god
what is most interesting
is the other 30
their response didn't make the headlines
wasn't mentioned at all
open ended it may be
that there was no change for some
or some doubted a little more
what is curious to me
is the stories of people
who through the storm
decided against god
this flood did not wipe out
the nonbelievers
an empty world for noah
in this flood
somebody gave up on god
wading in water
with the dead and filth
