When Death Became Reality

In days of great philosophy Debate exposed false sophistry Where trust was in mythology That promised Godly equity When death became reality. And reasoned men could once again Speak truth to power without pain From despots who secured each gain Co-opting God for their domain Of vile debaucheries so vain. What moral compass spoke the word To pedophiles in robes absurd That swore it was the Christ they heard Who blessed the pot of sin they stirred As rape of children long endured. Oh Ye who gather with the crowd Beware of them who shout too loud: "Believe that we are God endowed, Divinely made both pure and proud" Lest not their boasts become your shroud.
