poor choices made moment

bootleg scriptures and spiritual snake oil,
belief boiled down and bottled to take home.
books burn in the background as the poor get warm,
eating ash and ink with a christ in the slum.

all over the world was one real time:
poor choices made moment.
two large in years later
we still cannot compare the prophets.

copied down by hand,
a conversation piece:
mistranslated,
good to eat.
