John Calvin preached prosperity on Earth
reflected God's immeasurable grace
so it's enough to weigh a bloke's net-worth
to judge if he be virtuous or base
but those who'd argue God resides within
remake their world with quotidian acts
instead of a religion built on sin
they build their heaven fact by sweaty fact
were faith enough, one would be free to lie
and cheat and murder kith and kin and wife
repenting in the moment ere he'd die
erasing all the malfeasance of life
predestination ditches quid pro quo
but heaps a Hell of guilt on those below
