Black or White They hide behind masks They deceive the cathedral masses They have no names They have no real face They preach They poetically sing They postulate like peacocks in a ring Yet silently they slither away The preacher with the loud voice The Politician like a trumpet Promises they have on offer They are the usual suspects Loud in pronouncements Silent in moral disguises

Sadly there is still so corruption that goes on in the church and in politics - so much still covered up - powerfully penned Arthur:-) hugs Jan xx

We are seeing that even the ordinary man contributes to the coverup and perversion of truth. If you have ever seen the KKK, never trust a man who hides behind a mask!
