WHEREWITH THE FOE? by TOM LEONARD
RECEIVE YOUR REWARDS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE,
YE WHO TOIL HARD FOR ZILCH,
YE CARING PEOPLE WHO
STRUGGLE TO EXIST,
YE INDUSTRIOUS IMMIGRANTS TO NEO-COLONIAL SCOTIA
OUT OF AFRICA, CUBA AND MADRID,
FROM VISTULANIA, MUMBAI , MALI, AND THE NILE,
WITH INDIGENOUS CULTURE FILLED.
JOIN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST SOCIAL INJUSTICE,
AGAINST THE ARMS-MONGERS, AND AGAINST
AND CREEPING TOTALITARIAN BUREAUCRACY
ALL CITIZENS AND WORTHY BODIES THAT TRULY CARE!
DEFEND OTHERS, BUT NOT BY GLIB LIP SERVICE
AND EFFUSIVE ORCHESTRATED PRAYER ALONE.
PROTEST IN HARMONIUS UNISON, AND
THEREBY REDEEM THY IMMORTAL SOULS,
LEST YOU WRITE YOUR EPITAPHS
BENEATH YOUR IVORY STEEPLES
AND PRETENTIOUS CHURCH TOWERS
OUT OF TIMES THANKFULLY BY GONE.
AND AGAINST ALL BLIARS, RASPUTINS, AND THE LIKE,
PLAN CAREFULLY AND PEACEFULLY REBEL!
MEANWHILE, FEATHER YOUR NESTS, YE PIOUS GATE-KEEPERS,
PROSELYTISE YOUR GOODNESS,
YE HOLY WILLIES,
WHILE YOUR BLIND EYES CONDONE
THE RAMPANT ABUSE IN YOUR MIDST.
YE BELONG HIGH ON THE HILL
WHERE SLAVERY IS STILL EXTOLLED,
WHERE THEY SAY THAT THE FOOD SERVERS WITH DOWNS
AND THE LEARNING DISABLED WITH INCAPACITIES
WERE BULLIED AND MISTREATED
IN THE SNOB-FILLED CRYPT,
WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE MINDWASHED
INTO WORSHIPPING THE PRIEST
AT THE HISTORIC ALTAR
AND LEFT UNPROTECTED FROM THE GHOULS.
AND A CURSE ON THAT PLACE
ON THE TOP OF THE WALK.
WAY DOWN THE HILL,
WHERE THE WHORE OF BABYLON.
INDULGED HIMSELF AFTER HIGH MASS.
LOCK THE DOORS, KEYHOLDER,
SAINT BRIAN SO BOLD,
AND FUMIGATE THE PLACE
LEST THE HOLIES RESURRECT THE WAYS OF
THEIR ERRANT PRINCES, AND THAT SISTER OF NAZARETH,
FROM THE ROME OF THE EMERITUS REKINDLED
AND IN THE SMYLLUM ORPHANAGE CONTINUED.
.
THRIVE IN THE EXCLUSIVELY EXPENSIVE CLUBS,
YE PARASITIC PHARISEES,
THAT FLOAT HIGH IN THE SKY ABOVE PRINCES STREET
AND SPEW EUGENICS
ON THE BEGGARS IN THE GUTTER BELOW FROM THE GUTTER ABOVE.
GLOBAL CAPITALISM HAS GONE SPARE.
YE WHO BRING BLASPHEMY TO THE SPIRIT,
YE ABUSERS OF CHILDREN OF JESUS
AND ENSLAVERS OF THOSE WHO SCRAPE AND TOIL.
THE MESSIAH'S ALL-SEEING EYE PERCEIVES YOUR
UNFORGIVEABLE AND TEETH GNASHING SINS
AND WILL ASSIGN YOU TO ONE OF GOD'S BINS.
TO THE VOICES FROM BELOW,
TO THE LESS FORTUNATE MAJORITY OF FAIR EMBRO,
THE MIDDLE CLASS IS THE FOE.
TO MANY, I AM A FOE.
(AND ENTRAPPED AS SUCH IN MY FADING GILT CAGE)
"INVERTED SNOBBERY" CAN BE GENUINE DISGUST.
THE FOE IS WITHIN AND AROUND US.
SOME THINK THEY'RE SANCTIFIED FROM SIN..
SOME THINK THEY'RE PRE-DESTINED FOR HEAVEN,
ALL PRAISE TO THEE: MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, YESHUA
AND THE GRASS ROOTS ACTIVISTS OF YOUR AND ALL TIMES;
YOUR SYNOPTIC LITURGIES DEFIED THE ROMANS AND THE PHARISEES.
ALL HAIL TO JERUSALEM, ALL HAIL TO GOD'S CHOSEN TEMPLE.
BUT THEN THE FALSE APOSTLES, THE FALSE MESSIAH CONSTANTINE,
AND THE FALSE CHRISTS AND RIGHT REVEREND DOCTORS
TWISTED IT ALL WRONG IN THEIR LOFTY LAIRS,
MIDDLE CLASS MORALITY?
THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE!
THE NICENE CREED MIND CONTROLS THE SUBSERVIENT
AND WHEN THE REBELLIOUS REVEREND
SAINT PETER SCOTUS OF IONAN FAME DECRIED
THAT PRESUMPTUOUS SPIEL,
HE PUT HIS CONGREGATION
IN A SPIRITUAL THRALL.
BUT THEN PETER THE ROCK WAS STRUCK DOWN,
AND DIED BEFORE THE DEADLY VIRUS MOVED IN,
AND SOON, I FEAR, THE LAST SURVIVORS WILL BE
ATTENDING EVER HIGHER HIGH CHURCH, MASKLESS,
DANCING THE ROULETTE OF DEATH,
TILL THEY FADE INTO ETERNITY..
THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IS PROVED
BY THE CREATURES HE CREATED
BY THE GENETICS AND GEOPHYSICS HE DEVISED.
IN HIS VERY IMAGE, THAT AWESOME ENTITY,
THE SLOW EVOLUTION OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS DESIGNED.
STAY ON YOUR KIND SIDE, MOST WORTHY CREATOR
AND KEEP HUMANITY FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR DARK SIDES,
AND FROM THE PRIMEVAL MONSTERS WITHIN US ALL.
