They Don't Know Religion From Shinola

dark shoe polish
fragrant rub shining difference
from the stink that's on their soles mixed with earth

egypt sandals
ox dung mixed with blood
fighting for nothing as religiously born as the pyramids

jesus the myth of blood wars
ignorance breeds F students
failing Gaia and All-That-Is


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist
