Saints and Aztecs and David Koresh
David Koresh
Priests don’t try to prove the soul’s existence.
The faiths just preach it and presume that weak
Minds everywhere will bow. The insistence
Of all religions is that they can sneak
This lie as truth the way a pitcher’s curve
Ball cheats. And billions have believed this guff.
Once fools have swallowed falsity, priests swerve
To scaring them with with further lies, enough
To make them give their offerings to church,
Or temple, or to mosque. Because of “soul,”
The priests can make the mind and body lurch
And be enslaved in sacred priests’ control.
..A man is brought submissive altar-wise
….In marriage, or is carved by priests and dies.
~ Phillip Whidden
