self-contained 
a
derived
   reality
in
wandering
     passion 

delightful
      feelings
&
parochial 
   virtues
       relived
on
  a tightrope 
of
    sentiment
screened
in
the folly
of
    imagings
carved
from
     memory

Treatise of love suborn
Of feelings, desires shorn
With parochial aspirations born
On ritual wings bourne
Romance brokered forlorn
On christening morn, personal 
license torn
Deeded by title; underwritten 
with scorn
Parceled with dowry; with 
annuities adorn
Liabilities, a fitted mantle 
charitably worn

Here in parochial Melbourne town,
Football causes many a frown,
Folk say, "Who do ya barrack for?"
I think, "What do ya wanna know for?"
Then I say, "Right back at ya!
I barrack for Jesus and Mahatma!"
Yes, let's barrack for our princes of Peace,
In our hearts, their dear souls to keep,
It might make our world a better place,
If we all had a serene smiling face,
To barrack for Jesus and Mahatma,
"There you go, right back at ya!"

Under the shroud of blind obedience, 
  the Church forever hides

Its loyalty to the Pope and Rome,
  it chides and chides and chides 

Canon Law and its corrupted faith 
  walk proudly side by side….

          “Where a child of eight 
           in parochial school 
           was brainwashed deep inside”

But guilt then crumbled, damnation cursed
  by heavens light deposed

The truth and God now one again 
   —the demon lie exposed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2013)
