Religious Fetishes Headline Sonnet

The American fetishization
Of murdering “those people” with fire arms
Started as pilgrims’ inspiration
(They were competing with the Pope’s concerns)

“The [Rank] Myth of the ‘Good Guy With a Gun[‘s]’”
Religious Roots [of Genocidal Christ
It hurts me how colonization runs
(True adherents, forgive my salty spice)]”

The west learned gunpowder from the Chinese
& immediately began to fight
Making weapons to colonize & fleece
(Taking over evéry place for spite)

I am sorry I am so cynical
But religion’s behavior’s abysmal
