The One Place
You would think
One would find
Truth in advertising
Would be in a
Bible sales ad
That was found
Using the term
Limited supply*
*(A hyperbolic ruse
Suggesting scarcity
Triggering fear that
You won’t get one)
As a sales tactic
To get you to buy theirs
For a mere $ 70.00
Plus shipping unless
You buy three
Before they are
All gone forever
When the content
Can be found free
Online or at a library
Even the KJV, as in a
King James rendition
V meaning “version”
Suggesting immediately
There are other versions
Imagine that ………..
God’s “Word” altered
By a man of wealth in
Power and control to
Keep his subjects
The bourgeoisie
Poor and Proletariat
In line
Oops, got sidetracked
Back to this “Bible”
Which includes copies
Of the Constitution
Declaration of Independence
Pledge of Allegiance and the
Bill of Rights
More documents
Available free
Without limits
Written by white men
Vague and alter-able
In their constant battle
To return to the notion that
All men are created equal
When it really meant men
Who were land holding
Slave owners as in
“All animals are equal,
but some animals are
more equal than others”
– George Orwell
“A proclamation by the pigs who control the government in the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell. The sentence is a comment on the hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the absolute equality of their citizens but give power and privileges to a small elite.”
– dictionary.com
Without further distraction
Methinks God’s Bible
Is written in the
Individual’s heart
The One Place
With some version of
“Do unto others as
You would have them
Do unto you”
That quick research
Reveals are easily found
In all theologies
“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
– Angelo Devlin
