Unholy Priests

fragmented faith prevails

as men of cloth clutch their holy books

with fires and passion born of fever unexplained

chanting verses, raising voices



they speak of vengeance

and the fires of hell

they speak of colors of life

some so bright, blinding the congregation



in this spite does every man leave

the seeds of hatred sowed

in this spite does he pick the sword

to chop another head



spilling blood, seeking vengeance

and his son watches on

and cradles the very sword

to grow up like his father



another son watches,

his fathers body desecrated

tears in eyes,

unable to comprehend the violence



he picks up the sword

to kill the man who killed his creator



and so the story goes....



in the church/mosque/temple

holy men pray for the souls of the dead

delivering safely into gods hand

where would these vulture be

had it not been for you and me?
