In His Kingdom Of Corpses Poem by Michael Burch

1.
In His kingdom of corpses,
God has been heard to speak
in many enraged discourses,
high, high from some mountain peak
where He's lectured men on "compassion"
while the sparrows around Him fell
and babes, for His meager ration
of rain, died and went to hell,
unbaptized, for that's His fashion.

2.
In His kingdom of corpses,
God has been heard to vent
in many obscure discourses
on the need for man to repent,
to admit he's a lust-addled sinner,
give up threesomes and riches and fame,
be disciplined at his dinner
though always he dies the same,
whether fatter or thinner.

3.
In his kingdom of corpses,
God has been heard to speak
in many absurd discourses
of man's Ego, precipitous Peak! ,
while demanding praise and worship,
and the bending of every knee.
And though He sounds like the Devil,
his witchdoctors unanimously agree:
He loves them, indubitably.
