The Idolatry Hustle

The Idolatry Hustle
by Sabrina Dawkins

Fans, little black boys followed him
like the body of a snake
zigzagging along the street.
In a flippant whisper,
he told them not to
because he had died in sin
but they continued
because they were spellbound
by a rhyming star who had fallen
and was artificially martyred.

Left Eye’s girl group Egypt,
the symbol for continued Israelite slavery,
followed in the backseat of her SUV
before the crash.
She was feeding her disciples
the wrong teachings of Dr. Sebi.
