A poem about the scam that is religion.

Compulsive liars masquerade as aspiring messiahs

 

Bleeding their anuses dry of spiritual fabrications

 

Seducing the congregation into recollecting precarious scriptures

 

Targeting thousands of wallets to gain laudatory paychecks

 

 

Eradicating the commandments in their forlorn Bibles

 

As they gaze at the remarkably hollow skylines

 

Visions hazed by pecuniary benefit

 

Hearts lavished within a swamp of prolific avarice

 

 

Deliberately they scream ghost written sentences

 

Composed by the anonymous hands of the seven deadly sins

 

Yet they study and teach it as if it radiates truth

 

And these fools sing, dance and praise with no source of proof

 

 

In no way, shape or form are you spreading the

blessing

 

Marketing Jesus's memory as a get rich quick scheme

 

Offerings may circulate but never reach their destiny

 

Instead they fund your epicurean lifestyle

 

 

You swear with fraudulent passion that you care for the suffering

 

I say it's all just a front to protect your precious image

 

Another pretentious publicity stunt to elevate your ego

 

Suckering new members into your narcissistic precinct

 

 

I feel blithest to not be obliged to tithe

 

For the tithes help nobody but yourself

 

So why waste my wages paying your mortgage?

 

When I could invest in something of richer value?
