“Sin was invented by the Christians,
as was the Devil” – Joy Harjo
When they don’t really care to
go any distance
toward an empathy and a nurture
then the teaching is not a teaching
but a use of force, of control
to get the mass to obey
instead of the time needed
to relate to a mass, branded heathen
– then Fear is the quickest and most
effective tool and weapon –
Sin, made to feel guilty
for not being perfect
– who ever aimed at being perfect?
the Holy Trinity, the 3-pronged
alliance, the barbed tines on a
pitchfork, that Fell from the high tower
-everybody sees it and no matter,
too dispersed to confront it
accept it now, reborn in its new name
the wolf in sheep’s clothing,
the religion of Capitalism
