There was celebration, in usually quiet congregation
hand-clapping thundered, and rose to rafters.
Bits and chips of leaded paint fell,
like confetti, or moments of immense sincerity,
and Walmart said Amen!
The God of Lesser Corporations,
HIS children reborn, artificial bodies filled-
Transfiguration, spirit to cash-mere flesh,
with life and blood more real than menstruation.
In gloried Halls like Valhalla
rituals profound as Jehovah's, witness to
an awakening, the freedom to be
life and breath entities, by a Godly Court
a decree of life from ink and paper.
The Spirit of God
moved upon the face of
articles of incorporation
let there be life...
and Walmart said Amen!
Wither the woman, vessel of saints and saviours
your choice to live in an era of manly–men.
Virtue can corrupt the Judges, when measured
by faith in penises. Cast wide the net
and capture every offending fish
for they have thoughts of freedom
choice a voice which interferes
with the dearer freedom,
the favorite of the law, and only God saw
the sparrows and the fishes
For the sparrow wanteth not and
like the fish, thrive in floods of love,
thrash and run in tides of caring,
gathering scraps and pieces of life
into loving existence.
They boldly hold...
“there shall be no more waterless sky nor airless water”!
The manly-men scoff, for in sound petition
hallelujahs rise among them, called for Profits
They bare knives and forks for feast and care not
for drought or things beneath the waters.
They know, choice is on the wing of the sparrow
and in the wish of the multiplied fish,
and Walmart said Amen!

The U.S Supreme Court has ruled (Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby) that for-profit corporations can have religious beliefs; and which beliefs can excuse them from obeying the laws that apply to them. While the ruling purports to limit itself to reproductive rights, it does not. This ruling has changed the law into a place where wealth and privilege now have powers to dictate a selective assortment of behaviour controls and morals. In effect it extends and ratifies private efforts to control American citizens.
