The Archbishop of Mangrovia
invited all the people of Guyana
to the opening of the new cathedral
and people came from far and near
but it didn’t matter from where they came,
the last mile could only be by boat.
The Archbishop welcomed everyone
to this majestic shrine to progress
in the name of St. Petra and St. Oleum,
reigning in a case of gold and glass,
statued by a slab of sandstone rock
drenched in oil in a million barrel vial.
This cathedral was singularly unique
it was floating on the water,
built topsides on a floating platform
previously known as, yes, Destiny,
above a garden city, flooded down below.
If you look outside that window
that thing below used to be a lighthouse.
So, why did they build it on the ocean floor?
See that building over there
that’s the old cathedral, St. George’s it was called,
the tallest wooden building in the world,
now it’s the tallest building under water.
Why, Archbishop, that piece of wood
below the statues of St. Petra and St. Oleum?
That chip of wood is from an extinct species
that once grew wild around here,
it helped to keep the ocean out, away,
from the land above which we are standing.
That relic is a symbol, of our sacrifice
to progress, and to St. Petra and St. Oleum.
Welcome to the Cathedral of Mangrovia.
