Oh grand Phallus
You live
In a palace
Wearing your phony crown

But atoms and quarks
Defy your remarks
For in the end
We lose all sound

The sun will expand
Making coal of the land
And with it too
The myth you spew

Impressed not the least
With your strut
Impoverished player
Reality guts

In gaps you fill
With magical spells
Wane through the generations
Morphing into newer fables

Beseeching is reason
You can’t hold hostage
Free from your shackles
My mind grasps knowledge

Transparent friends
Fall prey to the truth
Your god is not needed
And neither are you.

X- Catholic here. I wrote this because the Vatican often sticks its nose into politics and especially with things like abortion and gay marriage and while I don’t remember what he said that caused me to write this, but I have had a long history of hating it when religion and politics mix.

Now before anyone accuses me of bigotry, I have no problem with liberal theists who don’t project their desires on others. And my late mother was a lifetime Catholic and died a Catholic, and I love her more than anything else in the world.

Having said that. I hate pulpit politics and I don’t like holy people trying to stick their nose into our politics.
