Numb. 1353 An Indeterminate Sermonette of Half A Pair Annoyed

How is it that in a

CHRISIAN NATION

four months are named after

FALSE HEATHEN GODS?

Four are misnumbered,

one's source is uncertain,

with two named after

ROMAN GOD/EMPERORS.

The last might be named after

a DEVIL's spring festival.

Our numbered days?

Named after DEMONS!

Nobody knows how (or

why) we named seasons!

The Bible is written

in PAGAN symbols

so when we read it

what does it mean?

It goes without saying,

we think we are praying.

Is it a trap for us?

Is SATAN playing us?

DARK FORCESS abound.

THEY surround us.

THEY hound us.

Beware. Take care.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

Numb. 1272 Learning Book Burning

Purge pagan books from library shelves.

Heave heathen texts from the schools.

Prevent perversion, kids bound for hell

having been Socrates’d by Satan’s tools

force-feeding our nation corrupt education,

regaling children with tales of false deities

prodding them down the path to perdition

filling young minds with ambiguities.

Burn all the books of ancient philosophers.

Out, high thee hence. Go away, Aristotle,

quick, put betwixt us miles and kilometers.

I swear, though dead, if not we will throttle you.

Protect the kiddies from ancient playwrongs,

lest they question the Gospel or Bible.  

The idea that gods, though false, do wrong,

could, we’re afraid, make young minds pliable. 

Dorothy Parker (after a drink?),

said, “If led to culture, some learn to think.”*

———————————— *Actually, it was “You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.” Put my misuse down to poetic licentiousness. Also, full disclosure, I have no knowledge that Dottie was drinking when she said it, but I conjecture she said it at Algonquin Round Table, so it would be, I'll warrant, a safe-ish assumption.
