we seek pleasant fields
easy ways, unbelievable solutions
low-risk, high-yield investments;
pleasant fields
where we can chew cud
and lie with our sexy partners
and drink soma and sip bacardi rum;
we seek get-rich-quick schemes
and we desire get-to-Heaven plans;
O, we seek pleasant fields
that will bring comfy tomorrows
and Heavens that will
answer all our prayers;
and so the Financial Gurus appear
and do so Preachers and Saviors
and we make markets of our
Houses of Prayer;
we seek pleasant fields
and so come too Prophets, a long line of them
and Teachers and Chosen Ones
and we create God
that we force to create us;
we seek pleasant fields
so we can have earthly pleasures
and move on
to have eternal comforts;
here we will have financial security
and plenty that the pleasant fields yield,
and through our religion and our faith and our beliefs
and oh, through the grace of Almighty God,
through the One True God
we will have eternal insurance
(including travel insurance)
and we will have pleasant fields
all day long
and all eternity long;
and forever we shall live
in Paradise
where everyone’s reward
are harm-free drugs
and one can ride
in the Heavens of one’s imaginations
we seek pleasant fields
because we cannot face
the mines in the fields of our own ugliness
