​

Religions:

​

 

Religions are said to drug

the masses into believing

in an eternity of life

and profit after death:

​

by a greater token

Money entices

the rich and the poor,

the atheist and the believer, 

the sick and the strong,

the wise and the foolish

to trade as a matter 

of life and death;

​

then they live on

in unprofitable Memorials

by surviving descendants

who re-invest their eternal

accruing soul-losses;

​

turning Temples into hoards,

Pharisees into magpies

and Money into kings;

​

that so, the truth

could well be that

of all Religions

Money is the biggest

soul-converter.
