Beguiled
Beguiled
Befooled voodoo stained glass sainted stories
Embodied golden alter lies worshiped
Wined wafers body sanctified promises
Bloody nails thorn wooded idolatrous crosses
Burnt sacrificial crucifixions sinful feared
Confessionals
Used repented
Control
Pompous ignorant banners flying clandestine
Stolen heavens dangled carrot
Eternal peace
Self-rewarding
Love
Caesar’s dead laurels destined Roman spear
Rich laws indoctrinated poor uneducated
Continued centuries absurd pretence
Wealthy fat bloated
Beggars spirituality
Destroying sanities stolen festivities
Temples agog
Stone cathedral mosque prays churches
Grand established faith
Besotted light innocent
Ignorant backbones
Repudiated
Truth
Beguiled
