Knowing that the devil can quote scripture
proves that logic needn’t prove a damned thing
if citing quotes from a book of man
claiming to be the book of God
means anything at all.

So let the geek poetry ring out
as we sing our own pathetic patriot songs.
We shall shout
in our respective echo chambers
confirming every biased liaison
in every busted conspiracy.

We will dance through the hoops
of our own twisted intellects
learning nothing
we didn’t already know
or didn’t want proven.

We have achieved a singular vision
of the present
that provides everyone
exactly what they want.

Science preserve us.
