Whose temple is you praying in?

 

 
 
In chains before their Gods of mammon they pray,
Delivered there on bended knees,
By their Gods, they say,
The Gods of mammon’s heavy burden upon their shoulders,
Broken spirits and broken minds, lead them in chains,
A choir of broken voices smoulders,
Entertaining their masters relentless baton,
Discontent chants, derisive broken notes,
Prayer flags and ballot boxes lead them on,
Their union only, in their holy common sacrament,
Of rhetoric, polls, charisma, and lies,
Their heavy burden to amend,
Halleluiahs the eunuchs’ choir sings,
Jubilations for the winning God,
From temples of the eunuchs’ rings,
Promises for years thereafter,
Glories that the Gods will bring,
Temples, of their Gods, hear derisive laughter!

This is a wonderfully penetrating poem, Jasmin. You've shot them in the heart with great verse. You know, my friend, hearing the demise of the banks in the news today, I am torn between concern for the future and celebration that they are down the tubes with their greedy gains. To the politicians, I would join you in saying do what you can for us out here, leave us our freedoms, and the banks can fix themselves from the energy we create...Jerry

Their union only, in their holy common sacrament,
Of rhetoric, polls, charisma, and lies

And even sadder, most people believe them.

Oho Jasmin my Jasmin! you done again those jubilant-castrati aren't praying in the Mammon temple you knucklehead, tead my lips, they are praying in the new religion cathedral the Morons temple (not Mammon)
and all they have bad scraped noses by looking for pennies on the ground!
And for their gods...they will get what they prayed for.
