Unlike the skillful blending of fine wines
to please the more sophisticated tastes,
the game of mixing politics and religion
is played in fields of verbal land mines,
where gaffes or misquotes mean disaster
to those who yearn for dollar power
or false religious leadership.
A verbal loser asked me,
'Shall we be friends? ',
to which I said,
'Depends...'
