When Gods Collide

When Gods collide
Most assuredly,
Blood
Is
Shed.
Coercive powers crusade
Crushing
Free
Will.
Bow your heads!
Bend your knees!
Swim in the backwash of our
Shameless piss.

When fairy tales sanctify
Unavoidably,
Reason
Is
Hijacked.
Knowledge is gunned down
Assassinated
While
Capitulating.
Bombard them with god talk!
Mutilate the truth!
Mobilize the born-again
Corporate Con Man.

When tithes bludgeon
Inevitably,
Children
Are
Starved.
Rubber dinghies overcrowd
Smashing
Jagged
Rocks.
Mainline fundamentalism!
Wipe out the infidel!
Drown in baptismal sewers
Stinking to high heaven.

When intolerance dictates
Eventually,
Tyrants
Launch
Nukes.
Genocide is sanctioned
Purging
Defective
Deviations.
Stone the gays!
Scrapheap the impoverished!
Broadcast your brain heist by
Modeling crazy red hats.
