God is an idea abstracted from
The best of human qualities;
And the Market likewise exemplifies
The worst of our propensities.
Between the two is Religion
Which brokers our best and worst
By keeping both in good humour
From baptism to the hearse.
War is the enterprise
That proves our loyalty
To Nation, Market, Religion—
Enriching Trinity.
