you know them the ones walking on the edge of existence with lives emptied of hope and purpose going through survival rituals perpetuating the meaningless ignored by those who should care those good christian souls who for some reason are unable to see them and extend a helping hand christians no doubt baptized in dirty bath water
when destitution permeates society people seek out and believe whatever false hope is preached by charlatans who offer up empty dreams designed to make themselves rich
now i ain’t what folks would call religious anymore some things always struck me as phony baloney that tv evangelist laying on hands screaming healed healed then some paid participant in the tv drama suddenly rising from the wheelchair then exiting stage right a performance worthy of the political arena and although when you laid hands on me there weren’t no bones healed the power of your love surely healed a troubled soul
flagrant lies and crimes
are summarily dismissed
by hate’s disciples
charlatans face no judgment
shielded by a nation’s myths
the key’s self interest
feed disciples their fears and
they willingly drink
whatever poisonous brew’s
placed in their chalice of self
now be advised that it takes a lot of time to do nothing well nothing but obstruct others from doing what’s right lord knows being so divisive creating national hostility between lifelong friends and neighbors is going to be quite time consuming that’s why i’ll never have time to do my job oh i know there are a few folks out there hoping that my all-consuming fund raising and hell-raising behaviors should be stopped and i should turn my attention to national and international issues that directly affect the lives of my constituents and i would seriously consider those alternative positive actions but i just won’t have time
comes well equipped a clarabell clown smile painted on a gq face spontaneous loud laughter though inappropriate is a programmable feature and can be transitioned into a whiny faux concerned tone with a series of empty platitudes expressed once laughter fails as a manipulative joints are fully articulated and coordinated with contrived smiles laughter can also be initiated by pushing societal buttons equal rights patriotism or anything labeled contrary to internal prejudgment apps a-greeting app includes two modes bra detection embrace with gentle back rub or macho handshake with smile grip strength is equivalent to burping a baby’s bottom please note several models are available in various colors but rest assured they have the same internal components
the chalice had sharp broken edges on its rim with stains of blood along it’s stem a shylock merchant said it was safe to drink from and that the nectar at the bottom was an elixir surely used by midas tho the pungent smell of death permeated the air around it the odorous decay of souls but greed’s disciples grasped the chalice and drank hoping to taste the elixir and possess their golden dreams but the chalice only contained the blood of fools
