ULTIMATE REDUNDANCY
How dismal were
The demigods,
That filled grim days
With ancient frauds,
In early times
When minds were fraught
With primal fears
And little thought.
Yet I would hope
There is a chance,
Such imprudence
Will not advance,
Even though it
Still seems to be,
The ultimate
Redundancy.
MAGIC THINKING
I’ve always thought,
And still believe,
Religion is
Just like a sieve,
Insisting doubts
Will drain away,
Although such thoughts
Lead one astray.
It’s obvious
Many are fraught,
With diatribe
Religion wrought.
Yet happily
Many do glow,
Relieved of doubts,
They thought were so.
For truth is not
When preachers say,
That magic thought,
Will make your day.

William Lamppa, Embarrass
