“An American Prayer (Divine Comedy, Sonnet) The other day I was having a chat with God, she was telling me about the prayers flooding in from America, all claiming extreme religiousness: let our wall stand bold and tall, fighting off all indigenous impurities, let us paint it pitch black, so it's too hot to be climbed by the savages; now let us deport every last trace of sense, let us deport all who defy our holy faith - let us ban all blacks, whites, muslims alike, whoever talks the nonsense of tolerance. Then the Holy Mother sighed in despair, and said, "and to think they are doing all that in my name!" So I paused for a moment, then I grinned - why not grant their wishes, then flood the entire Eden!”
