how clearly they see into Heaven
when their palms are crossed
with silver or the last dim dime
you own paid to those
with access to the Throne
that's what they claim.
the ones that preach
the right of their domain
eminent or imminent
it's all the same
so long as you not them
are funding it for their own gain
the ones who make stuff up
who drain the high life
from the loving cup
if not the Holy Grail
who won't wind up in jail
who own a train or plane or two themselves
and easily can conduct business
in the air or anywhere while you wring out
from your last loaf of bread or prayer
the last crumbs left
to make sure they are fed.
