If people could be eaten,
Maybe virtue flavors best
So that the sinner's sausage
Is distressing to digest
And maybe then the pieces
Of a priest are highly prized
And sold for absurd prices
All depending how they’re sized
And maybe God is hungry
And that's why He's often said
That in place of all the sinners
He likes holy men instead
So that way, inside heaven
There is but an iron pan
Filled with chopped tomatoes
And some strips of sautéed man
If that's the case, my theory
Should indeed make me esteemed
For I would not be eaten
Nor flambéed or stewed or creamed
Although I've tried my hardest
To improve my holy score
The awful fact remains
That I am rotten to the core
Author notes
CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is wonderful. Flames from irate fundamentalists with no tolerance for religious speculation? ....Not so wonderful. Other than that, reviews are extremely appreciated! Thank you! :-)

Hmmm...
So instead of frying in heaven you're going to burn in hell. I dunno, if that's my choice, I'd rather feed a righteous God than a slimeball Satan.

WOW!!!
I LOVE THIS!!! After reading so many cliched love poems and ranting angst poems, to read something purely original is great! Now I know I don't stand a chance in this contest, and I almost don't care because I got to read this wonderful poem. Congratulations, you are first on my favorites list.
