Duty
"Faith means holding a belief
(say, in the existence of a god)
sans any proof beyond all Rational doubt.
After all, why else call it faith?"
-- words of Wisdom from a Rational unicorn

My job as poet here is but to push a tiny mop,
each rhymester's spills on fairy tales full transcendental slop,
the toilet overrunning still in ghostly souls and gods,
with which the world of Bathroom Physics 1 is deep at odds;
thus, need I mop the slop of ills the instant spiels erupt --
though squirts not potty trained remain yet faithfully corrupt.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the Rationally Ethical education of children --
most still innocent victims of dangerous spiels of faith
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the base belief baseless in the existence of each "supernatural"
something or other
april, 2023 -- an Honest day's work
true loved by a janitor of a Rational Integrity
