The Cathedral of Faith

When religion is politic
 and corruption of the monarch reaches state,
 then the nation suffers greatly,
 implicated in bad deed.
 
When T. More was forced 
to abandon true religion,
 pledge allegiance to the corrupt king,
 he preferred death than treason.
 
His allegiance was true God.
 New religions disappear
 faster than the corrupt kings.
 
As the shaking monarchs stand,
 such is corrupt, false religion –
 shattered will be their fate.
