After Death Reassurance for Sale

Religion, people’s after-death reassurance policy, it comes in many forms

It has no unsatisfied customers. It is protected from litigation’s harm

It offers guarantees that none can refute; it is the perfect scam

Like slick, cunning foxes, they pounce on innocent, unsuspecting lambs

 

After death reassurance for sale, your independence is its price

Its inventors, pampered, rich, indulgent, deceitful, and full of vice

Its victims, sincere, faithful, naive, hopeful, and successfully fleeced

In return for cash and unquestioned obedience, they find release

 

Its inventor’s dream, a ticket to the easy life of fortune and fame,

    Afterlife assurance comes without validation; it is the perfect game

      Solace and release from guilt for sale, the best sales pitch is its aim

      More sheep, more money, more power, more submissive suckers to tame

 

Like sheep to the slaughter, you have a new master. You must be meek

A master puppeteer, your money and unquestioned loyalty they seek

I am the master, you the slave. The man upstairs, where does he fit?

Your after-life reassurance agent is the only one he communicates with.
