Gathering Dues

 

Let them wink in sly snideness

Laughing outright their assuredness

That I am but a story, told with some chagrin

Made of old wives tales to scare wayward children

I do not wring hands in worry that I am unbelievable

I encourage disbelief, delight to be so inconceivable

God’s believers be mocked for their foolishness

Of praying for protection from a big hoax

So deny me, turn me into a joke

When I clutch your throat

Then

I will become real for you

And spend an eternity gathering my dues

Review as you will. Thank You

For the life of me, I cannot find the reference to it being one of his biggest lies - but I like the way this tells of that lie and how it will come back to bite us in the a*s when our dues are due.
