Misery Index

Their pious iconography, seductive and sublime
Artifacts from allegoric myth
Crucifix, testaments– seemingly benign
What havoc have they wrought upon this earth
Stalking, these jackals never cease
Clawing at our gates
With nebulous beliefs, apocryphal
Born form the callow minds of men
Not resting til they have theocracy in hand
...and Church molesting State
Their laughable liturgies
Intelligent design?
Mortify the blind faithful flock
Comedies canonical, this spectacle divine
Mesmerizing millions over naught
Slowly, they pander their disease
With secrecy enshrined
At the table of deceit, the faithful dine
Born form the callow minds of men
Not resting til they have theocracy in hand
