They got it Wrong (Acrostic)

A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy

Mayan Fools

by Treischel

Mayans worshiped a pagan god
Angry demon wanting their blood
Young children killed in piety
All sacrificed to diety
Now memories where they stood

Foolishly forecasting the world to end
Only pompous priests would ever portend
Of a December day in twenty twelve
Leaving a legend for pundits to delve
Straight to predictions that they can't defend

Thanks to Karri Harish for the artwork, Mayan Man

The Mayan culture was a brutal culture that disappeared hundreds of years ago. They performed human sacrifice of innocent children and captured enemies. Their pyramids ran red with blood. They also revered their athletes in the ball courts, playing lethal games. Who are they to be looked upon for wisdom? They are dust!

Today, we kill our unborn children by the millions and worship our athletes with obscene money.
Hmmmm.
