Anti-Confession

What good is the confession
of a compelling woman of deceit
if devoid of remorse and consequence?

Karma has a greedy reach
annoyed by clergymen
arbitrarily marketing divine amnesty
like some bulk commodity
they can't give away.

I enjoyed this! Organized Religion is in desperate need of some cynicism and harsh review. Wayne
