Worship

Asking for a gift

Calling for a miracle

Fill the emptiness

Something for nothing

Receiving a bequeathment

Or nothing at all.

Beg the divinity

Obsequious and fawning

The supplicant mewls

Abandon the god

That hungers for your spirit

Who thirsts for worship

Ancient gods, of gold

Silver, and the war machine

Gods of slavery

Stolen sacrifice

Set the bloody gods on fire

A column of smoke

Bitumen and vice

The corrosion of virtue

Nothing is sacred
