Though they’re looking for permission,

They’ve not quite received it yet;

But the Satanists’ new statue—

The goat-headed Baphomet—

Is more stunning than the Decalogue

Of simple, stark, black granite

By the Oklahoma capitol,

The place where they began it

If it’s deemed a public forum

Baphomet will find a spot

Just as public, to be legal,

As the one the Christians got

And the icing on the cake, you see,

The feather in their cap—

When the people come to visit

They can sit on Satan’s lap.

If the monument’s rejected

(Why they might, I cannot say)

Then, of course, the Ten Commandments

Should not, can not, must not stay:

Though a monument of Baphomet

Quite frankly, looks like fun…

Soon the place could get quite crowded,

And it must be all… or none.

Via Hemant, it seems the Satanic Temple has unveiled their proposed monument, to sit beside the black granite decalogue in Oklahoma City, at the capitol. Some sources are referring to it as a statue of Satan, others to a statue of Baphomet… it’s far more aesthetically pleasing than the old Ten Commandments monument. And, frankly, much more than the atheist bench in Florida.

Still, though, I would rather have a nice empty lawn–someplace the dogs can run.
