THE DEATH OF GOD
(For poor dear God. May He be saved from the modern man. 
Aamein!)

Much time had passed.
God 'Almighty' 
had been choking quietly
in the 'holy' building;
imprisoned skillfully
by the fanatic devotee.
Many a scholar and master mason
had given a 'false to life' expression
to the scriptures
and to his features.

For long,
he had longed 
to get away.

So, one day
he cleverly escaped,
only to find
the crafty politician
on his way.

And now, 
the tale of His slaughter
is simply a part
of the manifesto matter;
vigorously voted for
and voted against
by a 'theist' 
and a progressively decaying nation
