Fifty Shades of Hell

Forgive them Father for their souls unclean Hardened hearts that demonically demean Camouflaged cathedrals a silent smokescreen The towers of Babylon crumble as foreseen Inauspicious idols obelisks of the obscene Magniloquent mirages of man's made machine Feeding feculent fires with gorging gasoline Pampered populous with a Vatican vaccine Malodorous men with a nervous nicotine Religion waging wars like a lost libertine Marauding morality in the menus cuisine In man's madness a grotesque guillotine. July.10.2017 JULY PREMIERE CONTEST Sponsored by: Brian Strand

They say "you go without if you don't go within" I think in this troubled world where bad things happen so often that we find it too hard to keep up anymore, it is then time to take a breather and declutter the clutter, and meditate. Its the only way I cope now. I love your poem WW, so many meaningful lines...Maria

It's fifty shades of beauty on this superb piece of art. Sad world for sure, it's melting away...

Fantastic monorhyming, WW. Hell truly is on earth and this shows us very poetically the truth of it.

"Religion waging wars like a lost libertine" This line stuck out the most for me. Masterfully written with your magnificent alliteration, Wingman:)

Superbly worded...everyone should spend time reading this poem; we all need to ponder these things more often.

Yep, I think you have just about all of the shades represented here. Really nice Monorhyme, nicely kept on theme and wonderfully frightening. Best wishes in the contest

Humanity seems to have gone mad on many levels. Father is forgiving, but only through repentance for one's sins. Monorhyme with lucid alliteration. ;-)
