What God Do We Appease Now? Poem by Hezekiah Tiamiyu

What God Do We Appease Now?



We prayed, we fasted
40 days and 40 nights
And then went to Jerusalem.
We prayed, we fasted
30 days in flesh starvation
In white we zoomed to Mecca.
We killed, we slew
Goats, chicken and man
For their blood to appease the gods.
In kneeling we worship,
In sujuud we pray
With all manner of tongues
Dancing around the fed-god
All our prayers went invalid
For the more good politicians we prayed,
The more good politrickians that came.
Where do we run to again?
Oh what god do we appease
That will in speed and fierceness
Save us from this cursed demons.
