We Trust"

Poem by Joda Khan, Painting by Ejay Khan
the industrial priests are holding church for
the world
electronic pews with pushbutton blessings
they're quoting scriptures
from a Bible cast in green
chapter unknown
verse unseen
thou shalt not kill
unless it's politically expedient
citizens bow down before automated tellers
while quoting prophecies
contained in the Wall Street Journal
thy will be done
heaven can be had while you still live
paid for in installments
with bits of your soul
oh but not to worry
hell is only a neighborhood
housing the poor and the old
now I lay me down to sleep
but I can't
I'm afraid
the bombs are all armed
the course has been laid
chapels with golden spires
raised to the sky
people rushing inside
to worship the lie
Jesus did say he would return
but in New Babylon
without a public relations firm
he'll hardly be noticed
the industrial priests are holding church for the world
bow down or die
ahhh-mennn
