Humanist Orthodoxy

this is a poem

religion and history
have the same lesson:
acquiesce with a smile,
or be nagged into impotency.

the third option is to
worship the accomplishments of man.
missiles, and
Pepsi, and
direct-to-consumer pornography.
can i contribute to the landfill
before i die? 

why is Millennialism
on the rise, i wonder.
