Psychosis and Money
What is it then that makes them pray,
that makes them creep and crawl all day,
that makes them read some silly script,
their pride, confidence slyly stripped ?
What is it then that transfers their minds,
to heavens, angels, spiritual kinds,
to attend Cathedrals in little groups,
then dress in robes as elitist troops ?
What is it then that makes them build,
on fertile land where food was tilled,
huge Mosques; Cathedrals too,
just to sing and confess anew?
Does it help in anyway,
to wile away the hours of day,
dressed in best, on their knees,
praying to anything, making pleas?
Is it selfishness that makes them think,
we all need them to cower, shrink,
on our behalf at their request,
so that our souls be sublimely blessed?
The whiff of selfishness stirs the air,
I think it’s just themselves they care,
the work is easy and less to think,
from competition they wilt, shrink.
This God they advocate with fuss,
when ask for proof, they won’t discuss,
O proof, O proof; what for you need ?
the devils home you’ll go with speed.
My lucid mind begins to stir,
I’m in the hands of a blackmailer,
I only ask; for what your sales?
they came back as hard as nails.
So business then shall prevail,
In Woolworth’s by an honest sale,
the Church an inquisition I think,
proof of God surely brinks.

Thanks, I didn't actually read the poem (i was headed to bed when it was posted)...I was just trying to ask nicely if the OP was a spammer
jobee, I've taken out your link since it looks like you might be spamming us.
