. . . RIDING ON APOCALYPSE

Jerusalem’s the holy city
For all the Christians, Muslims, Jews;
And cannot be run by committee,
Because each faith has its taboos.  
And so we’ll lose civilization
Which only thrives on toleration;
It’s better then to take our leave        
Before profaning some pet peeve.
These beefs prepared by “holy” leaders,  
By Christian preachers, imams, scribes,
Have ready-mixed us all in tribes.
In short, it’s done by special pleaders,
The Peoples of the Book, whose chips
Are riding on Apocalypse.
