a practiced method
and for years it was
delivered, with much
more pomp than grace, but
the little people with no
hope believed.
each evening going to servics in
the big tent while
crafty men used god
for wealth, substituting
blather for honest work,
the flim-flam men of god
appeal to open-brained
idiots, who shell
out their money to charlatans
and then get angry
when these con men are
exposed.
Flim-flam...no wonder people mistrust religion, when so-called "preachers" rob their congregations blind...an excellent, heartbreaking write, Larry, well done.
