Vijaya and Mary

                Vijaya and Mary

Religions are quite conscienceless.  They are.

They dream up anything that they can use

As fodder for their faith.  A special star,

A vision from a desert-place recluse,

And even bestiality.  They said

The earliest of Indian kings was born

As issue of a woman who was bred

With lion sperm inserted like a thorn

Inside her womb by lion thrust.  They love

To say that gods come down to hump with girls,

Just virgins, only.  That’s of course.  Above

All else the prophets think of pubic curls

So new that they are almost not quite there.

On such as this the masses make a prayer.
