INVOCATION
OF
PSEUDO-RELIGIOSITY
IN
TIMES
OF
CONVENIENCE
(HYPOCRITE)

Inside our hearts,
a power immutable.
Compassion, kindness:
will cowards suck us dry?
Pure intentions,
love so indisputable.
Reach out to others;
the selfish shall wonder why.

Treat each other day
like another Christmas day.
Kind in every way;
not on show just for that day.
Human decency
in every interaction.
Love thy enemy,
not to please a deity.

Spineless hypocrites
will repent when it suits them.
Morals smashed to bits
as drunkards shy from heaven.
Self-righteous fingers
pointed at us atheists.
Who shall pray for her
as he beats the whore senseless?

Return each Sunday
to worship thy lord above.
Though sins are plenty,
they still do not own enough.
Another excuse
to lie, cheat, steal from the poor.
God will forgive you,
so keep knocking on his door.

BUKOWSKI BORES ME

Today, I received a phone call
from someone whose number
I had lost,
due to having my mobile phone
stolen
on a night,
in which the details
are sketchy
in the muddy banks
of my alcohol frazzled
memory.

The person calling
seemed rather sincere
in what he was saying,
but I detected
a hint
of an ulterior motive.

He told me that I could hang
at his decked-out abode,
rather than associate
with succubi
out to use and abuse me.

Just like everyone
else.
