Pagans

Grab those bibles

to thump those cysts,

We'll assist and insist

in this kissing 

of the vicious six,

Don't you know

that we're vile?

We worship the ones

we should forget

and we smile,

and we sing,

and we clap,

Our community

seems so serene

and if you can't agree

you're exiled to

the wilds with

the witches

the spys

and thieves,

Unholy roller,

Pious puke,

Seasoned trickster

you dabble in the lake

and drag out his

guts until he's saved,

faithful controller

paddling the river styx

to steal fire for the pulpit

to spread ire among 

those who will witness,

We all detest that cracked

half-hearted hello you

can't stop trying to extend,

Pretense is an offense for

the ones who stay suspended,

Buy a ticket for a show thats

always open ended for interpretation,

Grab a seat and watch these

snake handlers,

evangelist,

and holy men sing

and dance to move you

toward a falsity,

I've met them,

Vermined teeth locked

behind a devil's grin,

First to sin

last to admit it,

Enjoy the show

when they lay hands on

the ill who soon quake,

the wooden boards shake,

their eyes peel back, lips moving

speaking tounges and forsaking

fake devils,

"For, Baal!"

"For, Mephisto!"

"For, Baphomet!"

"For, Lilith!"

The crowd so awstruck

in waves fanning

and the confidence is sung,

That girl still can't walk,

The old man is soaked 

with age and you give

him hope without focus,

The holy ghost with the most

can't stop this show from choking,

Blood moon revival

for your survival and mine

we must admit to truth

of much more ancient things,

The stars for starters,

the Earth, our mother,

and then ourselves,

you're more holy than you know,

we're so god damn powerful,

lets believe in each other,

if her body was a temple

i was put there to pray,

we shed the shackles to see it

but were not entertained enough to stay
