Flydom
In the world of Flydom false religion
is compared to spiritual contagion.
Baalzebug alone is god, hence heresy
exists only as a rare possibility.
Hence, there are no crazed fanatics
to stoke the flames of heretics,
no gruesome hangings, no quarterings,
no cheering public beheadings.
Yet compared to such gory executions
condemned flies prefer two common substitutions:
the sudden swap they never get to hear
and the suicidal plunge in stale warm beer.
