Bloodied Prayer
once again, the bell rings....
the crowd's blood-thirsty roar
explodes as a thunderclap,
the arena's skydome trembles,
the gloved gladiators,
as blood-crazed predators,
fiercely glare and clash
in murderous rage and hatred,
each one's whole being reduced
to the moment's sole purpose
of utterly destroying the other,
each one ferociously lusting
after money, pride and fame,
after a hurried sign of the cross,
after quickly mumbling to the God
of love and mercy...a bloodied prayer !
