E-Meter Messiah

by Mary Horton

New Christ announced by press release.

He’ll show us all the truth, they say.

It’s easier today, you know. (As long as you look good.)

Mass media,

No miracles,

No bloody sacrifice.

No need to take it all on faith — it’s science! (Say -tologists, not -tists).

The war of faith and reason’s done.

It looks like science fiction’s won.
