Defiling the Unknown

There’s no bigger threat than what’s still left to know Its backbone religion, as it sits on its throne What cannot be stated and proven as fact Evangelists kidnap and wear on their backs With prophecy wrapped in their folly misled What’s still undiscovered, leaves dogma undead But then when the darkness moves into light Revivalists shout, claiming: “See, we were right” Leaving two kinds of liars in this world to be shown Those twisting the truth —and those defiling the unknown (Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
