State of Ignorance
Old Texas Hand and Newbie
NEW
I didn't believe the stories before I moved here,
but my development--brand new and everything
the best--is loaded with Creationist-Racists.
OLD
That's a mouthful. Salt of the Earth if y'look at it
another way.
NEW
If that's the salt, the earth's in a bad way.
OLD
Give yuh the sleeves outa their vests.
NEW
What's the upshot? The school boards only approve
texts endorsed by jerk-off ministers. The kiddie’s
picture books have dinosaurs mixed in with
cavemen and biblical characters. The mishmash
takes your breath away!
OLD
Well, we got you now. You talk to 'em. I mean the
ministers and their stone-dumb flocks.
NEW
I'll eventually try...something. Will I have to ship my
kids East to keep them from becoming super-ignorant
good ole boys and girls?
OLD
Lotsa folks do, but they come back and we grab 'em fast.
Pretty soon they speak our language all over again.
NEW
It's a disease!
OLD
Maybe so. We're all sick, but in the top layer you don't
notice it so.
NEW
I'm in a quandary!
OLD
Hell, you're mostly inventing it! Join the country
club and get the genteel version.
NEW
And then become what I hate? But more polite?
I don't think so!
OLD
I do.

Determining Titles
Right Primer
-Who gives a shit what adults do about sex? It’s their own freakin business!
-Your Libertarianism resonates with us, but not that.
-Oh yeah? Well what’s the difference?
-Calling you Congressman or Mister.

The Candidates Speak
Darlings of Patricians
and, On High, those in
the religion rackets. Such
sly love from wackos unneeded,
for we can really afford our
own politicians,
and indulgences.

Freshman and Leader,2
-Well, finally had a judge do as told, but your freshman class
can't stop blabbing about it.
-I thought that was good.
-Too many voices moshes up the message. Leave it to leadership now. And your biblical nitwits back home
have already performed their obscene dance
of celebration. Speaking of which, their intelligence
network--using the adjective loosely--has determined
you're not going to church.
-What with all the moving...
-Go! For show! Jam your eyes shut in apparent faith,
and sleep through the baloney. But go!
-Okay, yeah. Church is important.
-For reelection it is. But there's really only one
church is this town. You should refer to it as I do:
Church of Me.
-Kinda selfish?
-On the contrary. Never lets you down and
no sticky theology disputes.
-I’ll keep the faith.
-It’s easy.

Oh Say Can You See to Pray?
When you know it's a lie
and pronounce it anyway,
you're a politician apply-
ing a strategy. Awful certainty
of a final reckoning’d militate
against such bopping, meretri-
cious sinning in a Believer, but
doesn't seem to: Staunchest
Upholders of the Faith laying down
the most egregious whoppers.
