Unholy Waters

UNHOLY WATERS The shaman beats his drums Summons spirits to come Speaking in animal tongues The Earth is in his songs. He passes through the light With his second sight He searches for the parts of soul To make the broken whole. These are unholy waters to some Certainly not the Chosen Ones; Darkness will descend, Where we begin we end. The priest blesses the wine Suddenly it is blood divine. “Drink it!”, he exclaims. “Drink it in His name.” He speaks of saving souls, The greatest story ever told. No death for all believers, Damnation to all sinners. These are unholy waters to some Certainly not the Chosen Ones; Darkness will descend, Where we begin we end. To side with Evolution Is to commit a ‘mortal’ sin. What about entanglement? Not written in the Ten. “Spooky action at a distance”; Met with such resistence. Science has its Big Bang, Was God there when it began? These are unholy waters to some Questions of belief and the words Not from what tree we descend, Where we begin we end.
