Idols and the Zeitgeist

Gold and silver

Commands all within reach to bow

Causes light heads to turn

Curries the favour of allegiance

Reduces subjects into dumb dogs 

Cultural norms

Espousing nothing else but vanity

Vastly sponsored by brute beasts

Widely propagated in marketplaces

Blindly adopted by the weak 

Worthless doctrines

Subtly contrary to Christ

Yet sounding vaguely profound

Appealing to the naive

Though destructive to the soul 

Frail mediums

Clouds and winds yielding no rain

Rain floods that wash off sustenance

Rootless trees with large trunks

Crumbling at a moment's notice 

Destructive inventions 

Fascinating and brilliant

Like new goats on the block

Stubborn in fragrant authority

Lean in fruits of rightness 

Worry gates

Open to every market

Care nothing for righteous reign

Clad on fads and filth

Shop falsehood from every corner 

Greed for gain

Journeys along with error

Full of aimless baggage

Empty of appointed portion

Snuffs out life from the owner 

Arrogant barrels

Stationed by stagnant ponds

Sounding loud and rebellious

Noisy out in crowdy intersections 

Wooing the gullible into depths of hell

False gods

Self-serving stomach mechanics

Tall enough to intimidate dwarfs

Narrow pits affording no salvation 

Polluted streams hosting multitudes 

Knowledge merchants

Advocating temporal fixes

Shut to eternal purpose

Deep in blatant error

Bereft of life-giving truth 

Empty observances

Occupying days with restless activity

Transmitting everything but Godly fear

Running massive slave camps

Building high-walled prisons 

Unrelenting vanities

Unbridled appetites

Uncontrolled passions

Unrestrained ambitions

Utterly void of patient virtue

...

Abominations of the nations 

Are rife and rampant

Abominations of the age

Are inimical to human wholeness
