that three major gods
would choose for headquarters
an obscure backwater?
Even one god!
Forgotten or famous?
If we don't believe them,
how can they blame us?
Preachers of Scriptures,
pre- and proscripters,
to me seem scammers and fakes.
Except, to be clear,
the mistaken sincere,
they abuse the deluded.
They don't give, they take.
I see monotheism as brain absenteeism,
an orphan's demand for attention.
We are alone. There is no padrone.
And, in addition, allow me to mention,
Jerusalem — never anything's center —
a highly unlikely religion placenta.
