Protection of Their Own

Alma Mater in denial Beckons proof of terrible sin Congregation gather to witness Defrocked disciple Endeavours to catch her and hear Flagellate in fear of the hounding. Girl on a high, this nun in retreat Hypocrite trying to steal an identity Image of optical semblance Juridical Janeass vindicated Karma until now was next of kin Lassitude before bringing her in. Mother superior plays out her role Noxious blend notwithstanding Objurgates the slayer in rowdy prayer Praises the Pope, insincerely Quaint yet putting on an act Rebuttal for her charge to be free of sin. Sisters of mercy at the convent Travel time from zero BC Unavailable for opinions. Vindicate their needs for solidarity While the priest hands down the cane Xenophobia takes hold. Yearning for the truth Zephyr sweeps it all away. © Harry J Horsman 2020

I love this amazing piece my friend. Yearning for truth is a dangerous road to travel. Its pit stops land mines placed by dark shadows and twisted imps. Humanity bow to the world's ever so busy wicked hands. A fav,.. God bless...
