Doves Faltered
When doves faltered
and babies cried,
hence blood was shed
in the name of the Father,
as every mother's bosom
was purged of her child
grown to a man, only to die
defending his brother's religion,
whilst no human was spared the
wrath of wartime communion amid
contradictions of holy water's delusions
