Boxed In By Bethlehem

a bedlam structure
of bloody tarnation
segregation
elitism

ferocious roars
of highly imagined
atrocities
to be heaped upon those
who huff and puff against
this crushing rockhead of ages

papist smears
laying prostrate
millions of the gullible
hear ye
hear ye
he (we) will destroy all
but the Bethlehem box of rightousness

his universe
your tomb
in chains
no other way

so say these Bethlehem designed scaffold jockeys
from an ingenious structure of lies
