For years I’ve felt put upon
\nBy Christians
\nWho like to pray a lot
\nA tendency
\nTo start off public meetings
\nBy saying prayers
\nWhich honestly is alien to me
\nI do not close my eyes
\nAnd neither do a lot of them
\nFor I am on the look out
\nevery time
\nFor what we are about to receive

\nMy chyme
\nIs not made any less acidic
\nby your mumblings
\nand often I resent them
\nfor I see

\nsuckling pig
\nor a lamb plucked out of some
\ngreen field,
\nor a veal steak
\nIts mother pining

\nsnubbed him and destroyed
\nthe love he’d shown
\nand the prayers you blurt out
\nWon’t absolve their agony
\nYour mantra might be
\ncustomary for you
\nBut to me to have to sit
\nand watch you fill your
\nbodies noisily
\nWith their blood and guts
\nIs to me pure heresy
