Zeal

he's dedicated, committed

to the cause but why should

somebody, anybody support

his zeal?

 

maybe because the threat

of brimstone is that convincing,

or that following a groveling

piece of s**t holding a Bible

is that convincing too

 

if you need outside support

to convince anybody to come

to the big, bloody addition sign

when there are hundreds of people

in your town to do it, isn't there

something slanted, something warped 

about the approach anyway?

 

and so the brimstone, groveling

piece-of-s**t evangelical theory

is a batch of fertilizer where

nitrogen, phospate and potash

are all in equilibrium

 

Franklin can rock the river

all he wants and Jesse can

and do plant himself

a*s-end-to-the-world

just to suck off or get

fucked by the god of

the Great Commission

in all its pimp and

bottom b***h glory

 

dedication and zeal are

shitless because s**t

actually has tangibility

I can always smile by reading your poems for skillful use of scientific jargon.
This time the following stanza gave me immense pleasure:
"and so the brimstone, groveling
