An Idol Called ‘The Economy’

An Idol Called ‘The Economy’
By Blindman at the Gate

America worships an idol called
The Economy
All bow to her holiness
The Economy
Justice for the indigent and immigrant
Care for the ill and infirm
Must first be approved by
The Economy
Americans “vote their pocketbook”
A sacrament offered to
The Economy
Presidents and politicians are mostly priests to
The Economy
Political speech is a liturgy venerating the primacy of
The Economy
(Question it at your peril)
It’s a sacrosanct article of faith
Nothing is more important than
The Economy
We can talk about guns and wars and doctors and borders
But we genuflect before
The Economy
A heretic speaks—
“There are things more important than The Economy”
Blasphemy!
Let us speak truth—
“It’s The Economy, stupid!”
God save
The Economy
God bless
The Economy
God is
The Economy
The Economy
The Economy
