Apostasy Poems | Examples


Apostasy

The silence between heartbeats 
is an abandoned cathedral of old. 
As the heat from when hearts meet 
Someday leaves me cold. 

I sang praises, left offerings on altars 
I declared the message for ages, 
And swore to never be one who falters, 
Stick to the Book; reread the pages. 

I fasted for you, daily prayed, 
Became your priest with my heart in the trade. 
I abandoned all others, in you my life made. 
Gave without thinking when you asked for blood paid. 

I confessed all things in your box. 
Laid myself bare before you 
Whipping myself with thorns of what’s true. 
And still. You took my tongue and changed the locks. 

The silence between heartbeats, 
It was once filled with you, 
What was roaring with light and heat 
You drank; out of me, all life you drew. 

The silence between heartbeats 
Is an abandoned cathedral of old. 
And to enter a church again? 
…I don’t think I can be so bold.

The first move is on ' its reported a 15 year old boy
Has died from the bubonic plauge (Black death)
In Mongolia, apparently two people had it in 2021
At A place named Khovd.) They also died
Reportedly contracted from eating marmot
Meat is the line..Seems like the bat eating theory.?
In 2021 astra zeneca started making a plauge vax
Same year as covid was being advertised.' Seems
Strange.? This could well be the next fear driver 
Some purported jabs already being administerd and
A local lockdown was in place, there are also reports
Of university teams identifying the start of the
Middle ages plauge outbreak as Kyrgyzstan.'
It seems all intermeshed and suggestive to my mind.'
The dominoes are in the process of being placed.'

Apostasy

With alacrity now, I give up

That, which my belief once usurped

To my thirst like a cup

However, the longing never stopped



Deem not, a-going astray

My new will to not

Genuflect, statutorily and pray

To that in marble or ivory wrought



I have not traded the missal

For a bride’s love nor wedlock’s ring

But my early truth, in a trickle

Hast dripped; a new faith, entering



Yet, methinks am gone astray

For the new truth, sounds several leagues away

Apostasy of a Prophet

This Casuistry is a paradox
Fallacious    feelings           repress
A Sophistry you ingress    Chemically redox
Tergiversate under scrutiny.  A misfit – an anachronism.  Elusory emotions to express
My argument a confused paralogism	Chicanery  
Fugacious Piety worships AWAITING THE FALL  
An elaborate machination Formation of 
this Cabal To unravel this conspiracy
Renegade inspiration
A
Live 
Grenade
Revolution call.
Societal crumblings
A mind poisoned by barricades
Limitations.
Cures itself
By questioning everything
Invalidity, obscurity, corruption
Topple under 
Plots of our Coterie
Political pressure
Militant insurgency
Worship the gun
Worship the steel

Guerilla tactics 
Metro
Urban
Rurally
Camouflaged pawns
Stratagem
Pieces on the board are people
Playing for real.
Didactic Leaders
And 
Pedantic parents
They’re history and experience
In perspective reveals.
Cycle of manipulative
Elite, controlling
The pariahs
Starved in appeal.
