Gods & Demagogues
       

Studying the hard questions.
Come up with
'There are no easy answers.'
Envy 'teachers' and 'preachers'
who seem to know.

Waste time
trying to siphon off
imagined wisdom
and second-guess
wondering
'Is that what he said?'

Followers who can't read
Scripture, turn into a mob
of apostates
claiming to be
the only truly
chosen tribe.

Instead,
self-appointed heretics.
