Faith . . . for You!

I hide my failures and defeat in the fog.

While declaring victory and triumph in the light.

I bury my investors, my entire nation in debt.

I make deals for my pockets in the darkness of fog.

As I provide handouts of pittance for your lunch.

I ruin and dismantle your factories in the dark

For my cousins and family, I buy in the bulk.

I pretend to take care of you in the light.

As I give you enough aid to keep you enslaved.

I encourage you to think that you are a genius.

By paying you enough to keep you dependent,

Unproductive, incompetent, irrationally volatile.

I have shown you to be above your material belongings.

Now your moral fiber is worn out! You have no guidance.

except faith, the prophets, and the Word of God . . .****
