Like Vampires

You can transform any cross into a stake,

And take it into the heart of Christianity.

The rigors of religious morality

Gives birth to Atheists,

Those demons against Church,

Just like Christ once was.

Christ’s Vicar in Rome must ponder

The Empire of God on Earth,

Founded by Mohammed.

And truly it is no mystery to Elizabeth II,

The last queen

Died just after her husband, torn permanently

From the Palace

An Emperor would come to call home.

I see morality eating itself,

And I see Bishops as more nutritious than steaks.

I discern Luther as something like a Pope,

Just another King

Who owes his throne

To a man who does not exist,

A man who is more than a man-

A god,

But who speaks the prejudices of children.

And little children comprehend best

The hatred preached by Falwell.

I think the fault of terrorism is fate’s alone.

And I think that angels

Need to take rests from their atrocities,

Let the ‘people’ catch up.

Because the people can only do so much

In imitation of their masters,

And their masters are elected.

So the sheep fasten together wolves

Just so that they will be eaten

And evolution is said to be a process

Which favors the strongest.

The strongest seem to get by

By being numb.

The numbness, which allows for emotions,

Just no thought.
