Ok, so we've
lied a little
They need our lies -
our reconstruction
of the fables
is what keeps them
hanging on to
the dream
The faithful.
Bless 'em.
Follow us
on the
fast-track
to Heaven
They swallow it all
- transubstantiation
( literally...)
the whole
omnipotent
omniscient and
omnipresent God
trichotomy
explained
expertly,
excursively...
ethically
morally
mystically
Divine Mystery
Say it often enough, it acquires substance
Two thousand years of repetition
create an article of faith most absolute
for those in fervent need of absolution
We make the world
a better place
as fear of Hellfire
and damnation
( did I mention 'Vengeful?' )
keep them in check -
a docile flock
the Good Shepherd
ensures
the silence
of the lambs
So we will continue
to fire our canon
at the ninety-nine
who suckle on it's
outpourings
perpetuated by this
Papal Bull.
Ah... Men...
