Imagine
the world's largest cauldron
lit by an eternal fire
coming from a pyre built on the words
of oppression
and hate.
Humanity waits
uncomplaining single file
to spit their ugly truths
one by one
as God, Allah, the Light,
and the gods together taking turns
wiping the sweat from their brows
as they take an enormous
staff and wields it around
the gathering spit
until the whole world is absolved
and the ugliest of all thoughts
are dust.
