Retribution

Retribution


Pestilence, plague
Monstrosities vague,
9/11
Seventh Heaven,
Harlots and harpies
And carpe (diems),
Evolution
God's retribution.
Guidance, you offer
My conscience on your altar
Intellect prostrate before your ego -
Ergo,
Now I'm sold
To the highest bidder.
Dare to barter with my soul
Priests from Asian lands and
Nuns of white sands,
Pilfering, plundering by means of
Mind numbing ecclesiastical ramblings -
My worldly experience
My Renaissance deliverance -
Grounded?
Hounded?
Not this time around
I merely kick back silver
Kickbacks from saint's sinners
And laugh
Restitution?
No.
It's divine retribution.
