Allegiance Kept To The Pusher

It is not going to make,
That much of a difference.
Regardless how long one takes,
To tolerate with patience taken...
A doing to allow time,
To deliver...
What one is most wishing to want.
Does it?

'I have heard it said,
By both a minister AND a magician.
That with kept devoted faith and belief.
Whatever is wanted to wish and appear,
In one's life...
Takes tolerance, patience.
Faith.
And unrelenting determination to witness,
That which one wishes to want...
Eventually becomes a reality to achieve.'

I have seen to witness,
A magician pull a shocked looking rabbit...
Out from a top hat.
I have seen to hear and observe,
A minister describe where the devil lives.
How hot it is.
And describe the decor of hell.
Where those who commit sins go to dwell

However...
Never ever yet have I to see,
A stunned looking rabbit...
Returned back into a top hat.
And smiling gleefully.
Or...
A minister stirring up the heat,
From a sermon danced around a pulpit.
Exclaim...
That every dime collected from worshippers,
Has been secretly saved and will be returned.
With interest paid to those faithful.
Who donated and tithed 10 percent...
Of their earned income.
Since from a 'vision' received,
While deep in devoted faith and belief...
The voice of God was unmistakably heard,
AS IS GIVEN, BACK IT SHALL BE RECEIVED.

'Your point to make is what?'

I often wonder about that rabbit.
Looking shocked and stunned Iike that.
How long did it take,
For the magician to train the rabbit?
And...
The minister?
Does the same expected routine.
Claiming to do God's work.
But...
How much is God being paid,
To be used like that.
From one unchanged performance to deliver,
As if people are shocked, stunned...
And mesmerized by it!

'I stand up to sing the words,
To the National Anthem.
Everytime I hear it begin to play.
Who claiming to be a patriot doesn't?
Do I know what the words I'm singing mean?
No.
Neither do you.
But...
A habit is a habit.
And when a 'fix' is needed,
We quickly pledge our allegiance...
To the pusher!
Done to satisfy the PUSHER'S needs!
Regardless how the pusher is dressed,
To impress with a familiar imitation.'
