the church

kiss your reflection in the water

charm another timid flock

then lead your sheep to the slaughter

more necks for the chopping block

 

there isn't a soul alive

that can resist the temptation

to bruise their knees when you arrive

and shower you with veneration

 

at times of need you are near

to whisper your foul song

into the royalty's ear

to whom does the kingdom belong?

I love poems that realistically depict religion. To whom does the kingdom belong, indeed...Wonderful writing, sir.

lol. Well! That's a interesting poem indeed! I like the start the line you have 'kiss your reflection in the water' its a good beginning.
