False counsel

We follow
the lead of
false counsel
the ugliest taboo…
fiends masquerading as fools
committing vile acts,
like refusing to read,
burning books,
these defiled minds
are left adrift from

the storylines of
their fellow man
as they callously
refuse,
to bend their knee
to the Almighty –
worshipping hypocrisy
is their idolatry –

not acknowledging
wrong is their
song,
the demagoguery,
the harlotry
of their humanity –

the insanity is deafening
and the crowd gathers… cheering
lustily –

familial lines severed
by way of blasphemy
a house against itself
cannot be grand
because it won’t stand…

collapsing beneath the weight
of hate
spewed from enraged faces and contorted mouths
ideology over humanity,
my friends…
that is the path
devoid of the
Lord’s grace…

for goodness sakes
what have we wrought
and can we stop it?
As the only ones
who can save us…
is us.
