Poem -

Thick / Skulled

sucked in
through the airwaves
by your
television set

electronic
ministries
are telling you
of your debt

see there gawd in a plaid suit
with fire, in his eyes
the media is your shepherd
and you're sucked in by their lies ...

(7.4)
You're Thick
Thick

the larger your offering
the larger your chances are
as a place for you in Heaven
is guaranteed by cheque

in the name of gawd they take your wallet
from your bleeding hands
so stop thinking
and just believe that you'll soon be seeing the promised land

(7.4)
​Cause you're Thick

television ministries are casting, their fears
milking
the aged
and the mindless
who have not long left,
in their years

television
ministries
milking the aged.

Lyrics written by Ryk John Miller Thekreator in February 1989

I love the way spelt gawd.....it's perfection through your spelling of that one most used, most abused word.

Thank you Carolyn! :)
I myself haven't been religious since I was 12.  I've used the Gawd spelling though, in respect for everyone who IS religious, to hopefully not offend them, in my usage of the word, in any way.  :o

Sorry ... I meant to clarify as well - I've used that spelling (capitalized and not) since the early 80's.
