Fisher-Price: My First Cult Deprogrammer

 

Doomsday pays my allowance.

The millennium, a guru reneged.

I do unscrambling on indecisives.

Extirpation, all in a belief’s work.

 

Gurus reneged on the millennium—

discipleship never goes as planned.

All this work, extirpating a belief. I

play with Hello Kitty, followers’ heads.

 

Religion never goes as planned,

the wayward covered in magazines.

With head followers, the hell-kit.

Combustion leads to messiahs,

 

magazines covering the wayward.

I unscramble indecisives, those afraid

messiahs combust as leads. Reti-

cence, the doom allowed per day.
