Poetry piece inspired by religious fanaticism
“Let’s just kill everyone and let your god sort them out.”
- Marilyn Manson

“Live by the word
or die by the sword”
echoes through millennia

Crusaders, hijackers, soldiers
read the same book
by different authors.

Choose wisely.

Pentecostals speaking Canadian,
Jihad declared on Garfield,
mothers of the fallen weep
God hates their tears.

Delusion spreads like plague.
Morality is sin
unless inspired by fear,
congregation blinded
by a facade of holiness.

Billy Graham stones Gandhi,
behind Rock Hudson’s Chevy,
Benny Hinn heals
with the gift of bullshit.

They chose poorly.

If hell is a godless night
I walk the valley
without fear.
