Facebook, Twitter, TikTok …
When great Gods go, sly half-gods come. They take
The holy landscapes over for their needs.
Christ disappears and in His stead a snake
Comes dangling, offering shining huckster beads
On tv screen or deep from cyberspace.
They might be harmless glistening trash for trash
To buy on infomercial channels. Chase
These gods and worse will come. Twitter will bash
With Trump’s deep lies and little godless gods
Called trolls will intervene with godless stings.
These trolls will bash with anonymous prods
Surrounded anonymously with wings
Of devils on the internet. Allah
Is altered to a whangdoodle wallah.
