God Trendy.
God is no trend—
He’s no artistic statement
we tattoo into our skin;
No relic linked to party
chain jewelry around our necks;
Nor nested in song lyrics
written for the barn hay He
permits us to light & smoke
(cough, cough)
God is no superstar—
He’s no theme choreographed
with dancers on Broadway to;
No receiver of props we
give before the producers
& video directors;
Nor characters we craft in
cinematic parodies
(next joke)
God is no secularist—
He is no vain we damn His
name with under excitement;
No name we scream & oh for
at midnight climactic peaks;
Nor the positive note we
end musical albums of
radio friendly pop hits
(next song)
