Monotheist, monotheist, not a whole slew
of deities for you; that’s your worship style.
You’ve one only; must be lonely without a crew.
But at least it means there’s only one to rile.

It’s their style to have a bunch, the polytheists;
they shop in a theological Wal-Mart.
When a team of gods crosses the doorstep,
they might lie there, or get high there.
To just one you appeal, monotheist,
one to extol and hold and love with all your heart.

Ain’t your style to have a bunch like polytheists.
so you have no need to pick ’em à la carte.
There’s no team to get cross when you misstep—
such as lie there with some guy there.
But then you lose your zeal, monotheist,
and so you go and grow a love for many parts.

Monotheist>polytheist


ALTERNATE ENDING:

But then you lose your zeal, monotheist,
and so you go and grow a loathing and depart.

Monotheist, gone atheist
