In Gold Leaf (Free verse) by bearhead
In Christian Country
Crosses are borne.
Old is resurrected as new,
And bibles bear the owner's name
In gold leaf embossed with
The glory that is the Lord;
Sermons speak of sin,
One must tithe the soul.
Compunction is the order of the day;
Seated in the pews
Satan is staring at creeds
Crucified each day by vanity.

Quite a lot packed in here, quite machiavellian in intent.
Not sure the poem justifies its conclusions fully though.
