Churned Out of Chaste

Tasked to continue smooth function of cult compound 
Sixteen svelte helpers of mindless vibrant physiche
Hurl their determination found in daily frequency 
Milking cows, picking fruit, darning gowns

Draped swathes of cotton smother love worthy curves
Bunches clutched in fervent fists denote proactive 
Chores suppress boredom, hours fast elapsing
Hushed among bustle, humbly built church

Rhythmic teat pinching hands press in prayer's commit 
Wrists sturdy obedient, cream transform churning 
Hundred shelled peas, obligated with urgency
Bound by scripture, called upon to submit

Duty is God's Will, blessed purpose supports hordes
Beauty unrecognised hair spun buns traditional 
Released flaxen waterfall for richeous ritual
Sacramental fodder, holiest of whores

Chosen childless worship circle of dedicated wombs
Esteem rodeo results in offspring from Minister
Fallen garland bruised petalled begins her
Observance unto sermons emtombed

"Sacramental fodder, holiest of whores" Beautifully done, Sigrid. I can read the cognitive dissonance in each line, tearing our souls apart.
