PIETY
When the carrion calls
this is your destruction
you are drunk with distain
Your body is a yew tree
into which a maiden
dips her momentary fingers
You are now a snake
which slithers
towards the black cave
together your
dreams are stillborn
the still night interlopes
with your deft piety
disheartened

Piety
Abbeys made for monks
Filled now with dirt, dust, and moss
Just tell me one thing
Which believe they're more righteous?
Which of the two truly are?

A Moment of Piety
Cliffs were sentinels reaching to the sky
Gulls chided my presence with loud decry
I scaled a hilltop to glimpse the sea
Piety washed in gentle waves over me
Never had I felt so humbled before,
watching fingers of foam fondle the shore

Piteous As Piety
Conception of a bloodstained cross
Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty.

Piety Variety
There was a preacher named Gunn
Who kept all the ladies on the run.
He caught quite a few
And first thing he knew
The pews were full of sons of Gunn.

Hypocritical Piety
Pious passion with pearl like luster
Panoply paint in deviant cluster
Projecting devout sacred morals
Wearing crowns of thorny laurels
Preaching forth with self righteous scorn
Scrawled on parchment fully worn
Those pagan heathens they perceive
Who don’t condone what they believe
Perplexed by such pathetic woes
Least the truth be so exposed
A patchwork of divine confusion
Unfounded values in perfusion
Peripheral motives, hidden lies
Unhallowed spirits

Henry Iv: Prerogative and Piety
Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek to avoid a similar fate
Manic King Henry sends his forces the opposition to eradicate
Unifying his kingdom, Henry dispatches puppets, builds

Virtuous Piety
You are a ray of light that caresses my soul…
You stir my might each day releasing things outdated…
You love me in a way that is right with purity…
You shall forever stay with me goddess of delight...
My friend, my lover, my ray of light…
