Gobbledegook

by kiwisteveh



Gesticulate wildly and gargle with oil,
Observe holy ritual written in stone,
Babble of Babylon's biblical coil,
Be sure to look skyward and shudder and moan.
Let loose all the venom that's lurking inside,
Expel all the Evil One's spirits and ghouls,
Delight in the gullible, come for the ride.
Evangelist wannabes, groupies and fools.
Garble the message, believers will come.
"Oh brother! Oh, Sister! The end's drawing near!"
Original sin, bang it loud like a drum,
Kindle the fervour and foment the fear.
