Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

New God In Town

       
      The Churches are empty!
      But the bars are chock full?
      Walmart, almost a new religion 
      unto itself.
      It's parishioners, adoring cheap
      junk on its shelves!

      Few would even think to contribute
      to any ministry.
      But spend thousands on hair dyes,
      and cosmetic dentistry.

      We adore our bodies more than God.
      He is old-hat, while we are so mod.
      We attend sporting events, like mad,
      true addictive clods.

      The Bible? Oh, my, that is terribly old
      school.
      We think Google is God and provides
      us with ultimate truth and rules.
