The Disturbing Power of Faith
The devastating thing about it was
Just how quickly it came
in fits of blue-collar rage
It stormed in, hostile and enthusiastic
Filled with the venom of God
Virile in its arrogance
And completely devoid of reason
It built a specter out of fear
Starting with immigrants
Make America Puritan
A white abstraction
Thinly coded in nationalism
Red ties made a noose
Around the future
And self-preservation took an insidious turn
Toward the worst impulses of the ego
The kinds that revel in cruelty
Punishers are of the devil’s party
Functionally speaking, the devil punishes the wicked
Or so the story goes off into a war with heaven
and a battle for souls
When you operate on Christian nationalism
Even reality is a lie in the hands of a believer
You can believe reality straight into being
This is the ultimate secret understanding
We are the imagination of ourselves
Our lies lay the foundation of the Truth
This is the Language of Eden
This is their ultimate power
Faith is a form of magick
To access it, you must sever logic and reason
Sever caution and nurture certainty
And watch them line up behind
Whichever dog barks the loudest
