Thank America for god

Omnipotent, ditto present, omniscient, multi-facet, typically white

Perchance black, in frank disguise

Always male, almost female

Not flights of fancy, but real and whimsical

God is one, no more! The sole one, none other

Him alone, all must worship, free of associates, for you to bother

In Washington alone, stands the throne

Divine capital, pews of might, pews of fortune

Praise not god for America, thank ye America for god

Cowboy god, rodeo god, dollar god, trigger god

Exalt amerigod, for freedoms gone

For bliss gained, ignorance grown, for normalcy blown

Thank god for water, in bottles plastic, purified for cash

Drink ye, amerigod’s coffers to stash

Up next: air for sale, breathed for dough, or choke en masse

In the name of amerigod the merciless, the malevolent

Obey ye his commands, etched on digital parchment

Worship ye in grand temples of malls

Beckoning your cash, for modern thralls

All wealth to him, amerigod’s capital creed

Replete with Armageddon, chockfull with greed,

To bludgeon vain heads, of unseemly demons

For commandments defied

God the fearless? God the unified?

Nay, faceless re-creator, dispatching men, women

Refugees, indigents, children, with skins in melanin

With abandon to their grim ends

Terminator of children suckling, cling to their moms screaming

Desperate for exile, for havens, mothers wailing

For refuge, for safety, still sweltering

From amerigod’s wrath, forgiveness overruled

Wretched refugees to nowhere

Bump into demonic barriers

Laid by bricks of odium and slabs of fire

Worship none other, to him all praise

Hold fast unto amerigod’s pillars

Racism, capitalism, fascism, cronyism

Militarism, sophism ‘n exceptionalism

God is for one per cent, the rest must repent

To god: anger, love of vengeance, power to dispense

Meting out stringed rewards

For the meek, deemed retards

Wicked rebuke visiting at will

Raining from the heavens, pure hell

Inferno, death without end, from clicks of secluded laptops

Pre-mortem, heads to whop

With wrath, beings to pop, requiting death

For phobias and wealth, with fury and stealth

Murdered by EJK en masse, due process my ass

Imperial asteroids, imperial meteors

Showering all of god’s creatures

Cuddled in cots, daring, dreaming

To crave peace elusive

Unlike Duterte, unlike Kenyatta

Petty disciples, for ICC’s vendetta

Day in court? Expect doom, Guantanamo looms

Re-create, un-create, creatures inadequate

Via walls of paranoia, walls of phobia

To incarcerate in cages, fed by dreams of utopia

At home and unholy land

God walls you in, grabs you with his hand

To choke you in tussles, futility in motion, despair in action

Till death does you in, dispatched to expiration

To be gone, forever expunged

Slavery rehashed, bondage reworked

With consumerist scriptures and fantasies evoked

Pray ye for thy salvation

Only he can redeem, with almighty dollars’ green

Guns for “yes” tyrants, oppressors, rogues, occupiers, tormentors

Their macabre love, for self-demise, ever slow

Of their corroded souls, killing Others for secular gods

For the altar of Washington, obey ye or perish

Mission to accomplish, continents to refurbish

To Washington alone, must all be prone

Countless times a day, implore, submit till gone

Seek thy virtual redemption

Seek ye thy virtual escape, into thy inner sanctum

Alas! Now robbed, forever gone

Till death do you part

God is America, amerigod’s your demise

Body to soul, ‘tis god’s resolve

Frown at your peril; atone and absolve

His fury venting, your homes pervading

Your essence, with coke and scamming

And meth and spam, e-mails and phones a-ringing

Divine stealth from up high a-raining

Submit ye to god’s numinous exports

Thank amerigod for neogods, outsourced demigods:

Creations for free salvation, of your souls unshod

Never to catch fullness, sans scientology, christian science

Witnesseth ye of Jehovah, Mormonism from sacred Utah

Wherein blacks are pariah

Evangelical salvation, from whites in white

To remote Turkana and tribal waste

With ethereal dollars, in whom all must trust

Strictly for the preachers, never the preached

Clothed o'er, tailored upstairs, with the maker’s attire

To render god naked, stripping the veneer

Of rights human, justice defined, virtues rehashed

Alternate facts yet alternated, truths falsified

Tales sanctified, lies certified, killers freed, bank robbers allied

Truth tellers caged, reality exiled

Seek ye forgiveness, gaze not in rage

Death for sacrilege,

Gaze with awe, ne’er revenge

Hide not; naught escape, god’s eyes from space

Dangling, ears aground, bombs abound

Eerie waves radiate, minds and hearts to penetrate

You are god’s and to him alone, wholly belong

S/he will not leave you alone

Till all on earth for amerigod to own

Resist not, dissent not, freedom’s a privilege, for mortals alike

For god and his ilk, liberty’s always a right

Thank America for the god, amerigod…the deity to end all gods
