I’ll abolish your religious black markets,

your underworld traffic in black magic.

I will smash your carved and cast gods

and chop down your phallic posts.

No more taking control of the world,

worshiping what you do or make.

I’ll root out your sacred sex-and-power centers

and destroy the God-defiant.

So will I destroy thy cities.
