In His Name Only
“By God anointed…”
religions claim,
then fight to steal His throne
Devotion pledged
in false pretense,
to become the greater known
A figurehead
to suit their needs,
they break His every rule
To seize with power
these ‘Chosen Ones’
—intentions harsh and cruel
(Villanova University: April, 2021)
