In It For The Paganism

In it for the paganism.
In it to trick others!
And to have themselves sit...
In self unction annointing meant!
And dismissing others...
Enthralled and used.
Those enlisted to assist...
In their public 'lift'.
Declaring themselves founders,
Of institutions!
Although deceivers of those of goodwill.

Stealing from them ideas and ideals,
That would appeal...
To the unconsciousness of the masses.

In it for the paganism!
In it for the glory.
In it to label themselves righteous beings.
Yet discovered too late.
After years of painful deceit.
Hoodwinking was their aim.
To have their names proclaimed,
On historic public streets.

With promises of tasty activities.
Tasty exciting treats!
In false declarations...
And sheltering a dishonesty,
With everyone they meet!

Dedicated To:
Those who achieve fame,
By making false claims.
And defaming others...
They denounced to make their gains!

May their souls find an eternity...
Only God determines is just and appropriate,
For those deserving.
