While the priest drones on and on,
The beadle plucks still-lit candles
From the crowded candelabrum,
Snuffs them out one-by-one
And drops them dutifully
Into the recycling bin.
It has been duly ordained
None shall be free
To melt completely when
Money’s to be made
From eternal resurrection,
And the devil still aflame within.
Well, whoever it was built that proverbial better mousetrap probably had "cult ties". Remembering of course that Marketing Never Sleeps.
ReplyDeleteThe church administration could always recycle the spent wax blobs into lava lamps for resale.
But as what we're really discussing here are those perdurable (diabolical) fires that burn from within -- how about turning that pool of melted sacramental goo into a fetching (if not also breathing -- but then you can't have everything) dream girl?
What's that you say, I can't have everything? The hell I can't! In my next life, I'm going to be resurrected as Edison Chen.
ReplyDeletewell in that next life
