Opining On Sacraments of Self-Ordained Loathsome Sacredotalists

Opining On Sacraments Of Self-Ordained Loathsome Sacredotalists

When the rascal dons his garments of meerschaum shade
with loud mendacious voice he covers his mugwump cries
Waving a banner of loquacity, expostulations are made,
and he assumes a 'Forma Pauperis,' as greed's vault denies.
In presentation of false reliquary for one's honor as trade!
Using syllogism as a vituperation of feigned intellect
and as a tutelar shield of humility's penitent remorse
it courts hypocrisy as siren's call of beauty select,
to claim unyielding progress upon an Elysium course
as a wizard of unerring wisdom and not one of neglect!
Stealth, Facilis descensu Averni, as a liquefied shield
and a Hydra guise as foreordination of divine might
claiming Ichor flows within a brave heart that never yields,
lives in an impenitence state, as guards against truest light
as Frankalmoigne 's holy grip over heaven's flowering fields!

Such a worthy magnificent truth, as bears repeating:
a discourse on frailty and weakness of dark, fallen souls
as canon of doctrine on those that seek truth's defeating
while proclaiming angelic shine to reach such wicked goals
they that garner blinded praise, while devilishly cheating 

When the rascal dons his garments of meerschaum shade
with loud mendacious voice he covers his mugwump cries.
Waving a banner of loquacity, expostulations are made,
and he assumes a 'Forma Pauperis,' as greed's vault denies.
In presentation of false reliquary for one's honor as trade!
Robert J. Lindley, 2-24-2020,
Allusion, 
( What The Owl Knew Of The Hidden Dark Within Mankind's Blinded Souls )

Note: This is the final poem in the five part series...
Whether the future presents itself as generator of 
inspiration to ink along these lines is yet again to
be determined. If so: 
Then ink shall fly,
do not ask why
for life is brief
rude acts must cease
those with no shame

Great alliteration! I know you put in much time... your verse like a cascade of roses — luxurious, bountiful and meaty!

Thank you my friend. Now three have dared to judge this poem on its quality of poetic merit and its delivering of poetic heart and truth. Yes, it is my goal to always write what heart and soul speaks-- for such is the essence of poetry and its foundation that so inspires millions to compose verse! Opinions vary and true helpful advice always appreciated. God bless, you and yours..

Thank you my friend. True, a lot of time and energy went into this piece. Heart and soul went into it with the purpose of shining a bit of light upon a sad behavior some engage in-- one that harms innocent people- that takes the joy out of writing. This poem covers the subject of bullying in poetry and the pain such may inflict upon the victims of such infantile abuse. God bless....

Love this write, Sir Roberto - phrasing, word choice, thrust, flow - elementally superb stuff with an honest and outspoken message ... we may not all agree on this site, but that should make us special, not wrong ... our opinions and views are what shape our personalities, so viva la difference! You always shoot straight and I am thankful for that and your friendship. I try to use this filter: Will what I say/do hurt anyone or anything? If "yes" or "maybe", then I don't. Great write, my friend!

Opinions vary and true helpful advice always appreciated. Rude or cleverly veiled insults are never ignored by this old poet. As I never award such to others- and thus I will not silently accept such. God bless my friend.. Keep on inking true..

Thank you my friend. Appreciate your comment and the fact you have the foresight and courage to speak up-- so unlike so many now hiding in silence, afraid to tarnish their well crafted popularity medals.. Those that judge a poem not on its quality but rather on the popularity level of its author and tit for tat reciprocating favors.
