Holy Water's Magical Elixir

Hallelujah, born again

chapels scheming, mankind reeling

 in holy water's baptism of wizardly elixir

  postulating an all consuming reverence,  

rejuvenated myths of deiform fears

 as reinvented nature flows in

    lickety split's Latin discombobulation

 Aggrandizement randomly written 

  in santuary's intensly scripted blather

    increasing histrionics' translations,

      'pon bled origins' of original sin 

Amen's passed the poison apple mid shrines' 

   overflowing baskets of coined redemption

Tilt, you go to that fantasy in the sky

Hallelujah, born again

   wherefrom archangels' herald lightworks,

otherwise Beelzebub will gladly impose

 his heated grasp in welcoming you warmly

          to  a dark side of the fried fray, 

 difference in ashes' revival supposedly

     are prayer & the almighty dollar, 

naught to do with compassion & good will towards men,

ailing old frail women nor starving children,

   falling prey to greener hard currency's salivating salvation

priestly entitled behaviors' disconcertingly repugnance, 

who knew...gospel's chapter & functional verse

     could be so dastardly rendered in man's

         higher power of accommodated perversions

James Inman April 4, 2020 at 5:10 PM I don't disagree, religion is without question a business at their best and sometimes scams, but it is difficult to deny the piousness of many religious devotees. They may very well agree that their religion is not perfect, yet, they remain a part of it, perhaps, in hope they can make it better.

Chris Green October 21, 2016 at 9:10 AM Wow, very deep and steeped with meaning and a message that speaks very loudly. I get where this is going and if I am correct, I agree...religion has become nothing more than a business to some, it is okay to believe and live your life as you feel it should be, but for those who hide behind the collection plate, profits fuel the faith. Paloma P October 21, 2016 at 10:11 AM Thanks for getting this Chris. Churches are the largest conglomerated corporations, with unending powers and ties to gov't, etc. and never liable for any of their corruptible practices, for shame, God has to be reeling.
