Bankrupt Religion

mortgage sore pentecostal      
overarch clematis climbing god's ladder
trellis owes back interest chapter eleven bankruptcy
 
pentateuch collateral
first five books of the old testament
held in trust by the rich banker

itinerate minister pereginator
pilgrim wanderer with a satchel of bread
feeding the homeless

religion's house under the bridge
campfire burns half-truth
money for nothing bankrupt religion

evangelical drone
largest tube in the bagpipe
deep sustained monotone playing amazing grace


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

All great lines here, Sage...

pentateuch collateral
first five books of the old testament

You make me try to recall when it was that my religion crashed.
Make that, my organized religion.

Religion as we know it is passing away. It would be dead except that it's in the hospital on life-support. The money poured into it just keeps the doctors in business.

Peace, and turn Mark Knopfler up loud,
Dayvid

Cutting the Cheese by Edward Patterson

Just a simple gathering of the Gay & Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboror (GLAABS) and we plunge down a hilarious ride to perdition.
