Conflict

The priest ran
Scared to raise
An ignorant army

On a darkling plain
Loading guns 
With dummy

Faith.The froth
Rose arrogantly
In the test

Tube.They heard 
Eyes shut and saw
Ears plugged


Contorted faces
Expecting the explosion 
Any moment.

Slowly
Very slowly the froth
Spilled over

Leaving behind - would
The 'faithful' believe ?- a near
Essence of religion.
