"Harp in the Sky" *

I will see power returned to the Church

all the banks in the world shall bow to Christ

all of the armies, machines, and weapons will

function as a tool of the First Vatican's might

trust in secular absolutism

free from blah-blah-blah technicalities

warrior-priests will hover over streets

executing appropriate brutalities

the wisest cardinal will quell the masses

calming their faint minds through mass hypnosis

while pilotless craft streak the skies overhead

scanning the crowds for space-alien kinosis

the Church proved there was an invasion

upon the Earth by telepathic beings

through prophylactives and 'hygienous' inserts

retailed a collection plan for gamete screenings

past governments had made deals with them

trading our genes for useful inventions

for three score and two they'd infiltrated us

taken control of the Geneva Convention

every Pope had been taught the history

and kept it as secret as the famed grail

but the one so bold as to drink from such cup

could not bear to watch all human resistance fail

he gathered the generals of the world

called a meeting in the sewers of Rome

traded information for complete power

and ordered 'deterents' placed inside every home

selectively they controlled the breeding

making them look the way the Pope wanted

securing the alleles of telepathy

Christ's new warriors stare at the stars undaunted

glowing splints that once burned out tongues and eyes

lit the way to an amazing surprise

that all the Saints and Angels of the Bible

were ancient travelers from the harp in the sky

* the 'harp', of course, refers to the Constellation Lyra,
