This poem was inspired by watching how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been competing with each other to bring the biggest names onto their 2024 presidential campaign stages. Of course, Kamala Harris will win in this political game — meaning the celebs game, not the election itself — because everyone knows that the Democrats have liberal Hollywood — or unholywood — in their pocket. However, as this poem states, it is all just meaningless nonsense meant to distract from the real issues.

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers . . . And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow . . . And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
