Embezzling Jesus Freaks' Embellishments

Ashes to transcendence mid infested holy waters
naught bearing ascertained compassionate divinity,
mad puppet masters fleecing       wings in lieu of
ceremoniously exorcised influential malignancy
at the right hand of almightily held hallucinations
strapped over barrels & sanctimoniously flogged, 
no show of mercy notwithstanding devoted defenses,
residing within sacredly inventive corrupt corporations 
embezzling enterprising riches' dutiful abstractions,
bless them Father for they woefully neglected
the word of all gods' intent and persuasions, serving
no higher purpose than to gild collective repositories
of sinfully en-massed wealth in the name of religion
and the sacrificed blood of Jesus' crucified convictions
written upon coveted covenants' ingrained biblical bluffs,
 struck settling false witnesses' far-side excised stonework

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 18, 2016 at 12:52 PM A very stinging indictment of phony religious institutions. Excellent write, Paloma. Now tell us how you really feel. Heh heh heh. That's why Jesus threw the moneychangers/crooks out of the house of God. Keep the love and knowledge flowing. Love always, my poetic friend. Paloma P November 19, 2016 at 5:02 AM Thanks Freddie, I concur. :)

Daniel Turner November 16, 2016 at 3:45 PM Reminds me of the Rolling Stones song "Girl with the far away eyes." If you have never heard it, you must listen just for the laugh. Another great write Paloma:) Paloma P November 16, 2016 at 3:56 PM Never heard that one, you have a weird sense of humor my friend, 'thank you Jesus' :)

Chris Green November 16, 2016 at 12:02 PM You have captured the thoughts of many, though in your amazing and mesmerizing way and expressed them as only you can. Business is business, every thing it seems anymore is centered around the need for the almighty dollar. I don't disagree with those who choose to support this institution, it is there right to do whatever they like. But just please keep the high pressure salespeople away from me. That's why I like to shop from home. Paloma P November 16, 2016 at 12:15 PM My sentiments exactly, I have many issues with the church, keep your distance when it comes to worship and faith. Thanks Chris.

Ralph Sergi November 16, 2016 at 11:35 AM This poem reminds me so much of James Joyce's Molly Bloom soliloquy with a religious twist. It is beautifully written without the ,"Oh yes" (ha ha) Paloma P November 16, 2016 at 12:14 PM I think I'm capable of being able to distinguish poetry from a cabbage, oh yes. Lol - I take that as quite a compliment, thanks Ralph. :)
