Black Or White

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

Jan Allison Date: 5/29/2016 7:54:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 5/29/2016 9:26:00 PM 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!
