Assisting man with his innate desire to be worshiped as a god

Will, for you, avoid deification but surely make you rich.

Should you only create a saint you will be merely wealthy

But the good news about saints is you can find more than one.

In most theologies god is singular, with all of the dangers singularity implies

Vanity, capriciousness, and dominion may rise up before you.

If a god you do create this god will likely be a monster.

For man is centered in himself, not capable of being of himself.

The true nature of godhead, some say, is love. Your god will not be able

Feeling a need to crush, belittle, oppress, lay waste in righteous anger.

Development of saints would seem to be the wiser path.

Although this process risks a godhead bursting forth unplanned

Or worse, blooming in the minds of saints before it is reality

Resulting in your trial and suffering at the hand of one insufferable.

A lesser and yet comfortable possibility lies with the humble blessed

Those eligible for sainthood but still extensively touring.

These taste humility daily, are sorely tested and they know

Salvation may be in your hands and they will be grateful for a time.

Should sainthood begin to balloon too soon it should take some time

Giving you an opening to quickly bless another, collect the price of passage

From the first, and be positioned behind the next to nurture

Whatever grace springs forth, emergence carrying its reward once more.

At these lower forms of holiness and worship, solvent comfort lies.

Not perhaps to scale the heights of Croesus but a leather-seated Bentley

May not be out of question. On someone else’s talent it is easy to survive.

Cocooned within your virtue you’ll discover a Bentley’s fun to drive.
