Stained Glass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ordained disciples dominate

their message to manipulate

eternal puffery divine

confessions used to liberate

 

Like roses on a thorny vine

the judgment’s passed around like wine

but wars are waged… for holy ends

hypocrisy tied up with twine

 

Devotion’s doctrine condescends

the Masses held in stained playpens

fictitious tales to pacify

an endless paradox descends

 

Forgiveness offerings can buy

the crowd’s oppression… worship high

our Universal soul must cry

collective faith ---  stole by a lie.

nicely done. Is this quite an old one?
