MaxOp's Lyricism Poet Pastoral

Torn Vestments

Upon swollen knees 
        beg mercy... please! 

surely hail showers 
     dirty deeds 
    save only deity forgive 
     thieves of moral trust... pan liars, 
    bloviating from tainted pulpit 

surely hell awaits 
               ,demonic soul, 

from pious froth, 
        earnest turn shoulder cold
