for I speak of a demon among God’s men;
be weary of this beast who smiles so bright,
while dancing with Satan on Moon starved nights.
Rev speaks of privy to the mind of God,
(What he needs, what he wants, what will spare the rod).
He’ll share this knowledge, but for a price,
“For you can only know God through Rev’s advice.”
“Pay scant attention to what God has done,”
(giving each a mind, not just to some);
“Listen to the Reverend, for I know best,
have faith in my words, lay your mind to rest.”
But here’s a riddle that’ll makes it clear,
Rev’s not from God, but deals in fear.
For God has shown by his own design,
that logic is the fruit of all mankind.
For if God sees clearly by a billion years,
before Bill is born, what Bill most fears,
that Bill will finally end in Hell,
can Bill live a life that rewrites his tale?
The Rev says Bill can escape his fate,
if he shuns all thought and just tithe Rev’s plate;
But be sure that it’s clearly understood,
that it’s only Rev’s plate that is any good.
But if Bill can change what God has known,
Then God is weak, while Bill is strong;
If he can’t, our lives are casted in fate,
rendering all things moot having to do with faith.
For did God not make the birds to fly,
fish to swim, the whale to dive;
Lions to stalk to feed their young,
why logic to man, just to shun?
Thus, faith is manna for the Rev alone,
it is logic that God made all men prone;
So to turn our backs on God’s great plan,
is against God’s will, and a curse on man.
