Ug on Religion

Author's Preface:

I think from aside the original piece, this may be my favorite piece I ever made for Ug.

My respect for Pope John Paul II -- I don't think I could ever truly express it. So why not just satirize him like everything else? Something that will start to show up is playing with line breaks and also with text alignment. Studying Modernism does things to a man's poetry. We'll see how that works out throughout my future work.

I want to bring attention to the quote for two reasons. One, I completely agree with John Paul II's message. Second, I simply broke lines where I felt natural pauses existed in this quote. The fact that it creates an interesting triangle effect is quite interesting.

Also, Anachronisms are fun, expect Ug to have a lot of those.
To see other works, check out the index. Otherwise, please enjoy "Ug on Religion."


"Ug on Religion"

Ug remember words
of Pope John Paul II

    “Young people are threatened . . .
By the evil use of advertising
techniques that stimulate
the natural inclination
to avoid hard work
by promising
the immediate
satisfaction
of every
desire.”

Ug think that fine and dandy,
But Ug still want sleep in on Sunday.
