Cursed Is The Man

Cursed is the man
Who prides himself
On his ability to get you to obey.

I say,

Cursed is the man
Who absolves you of your sins
(Except, of course, if you’re gay).

I say,

Power corrupts
When religion instructs:
‘Your sins don’t count if you pray them away.’

I say,

Cursed is mankind
Who are yet to wake up
To what is staring them right in the face.
