Mon Santos - My Saints
Gathered around the table
they lay papers before the sacrament
and the gathering is called to order.
Around the table they go, each to reply
as projections are cast on the future.
The seed of thy seed has been good,
exceeding all expectations of
our last gathering here.
Intoning "Our cup runneth over this day"
the saints all smile at
each other and their good works
leading the flock to a new field.
Taking that which is fallowed
and increasing its worth
over the cries of the sheep
at being driven to service before them.
The flock know not what is fed,
but they hunger, nonetheless.
My saints, thank the ultimate word,
that nature's genetics are our profit
and we own the rights to it, forseeably.
Let us, their shepherds, guide them,
for they are in need of our mastery.
Have them mark the deeds we present,
as legitimacy is confirmed to each,
that we are truly the saints
of god almighty and therefore entitled,
as a legitimate multi-national corporation
to possess and dispense
the seeds of mother nature
which we designed out of nothing
for the good, as we see fit.
Amen MonSantos,
let it be my saints
