from Defenestration by Indrani Perera
there’s newly matyred Christians
selling salvation
whilst kitty-cornered across the road
the devil sells damnation
for only the price of your soul
And it’s kinda weird
how there’s always a crowd
around Beelzebub’s limo
whilst people avoid the gazes
of God’s honest foot soldiers
