Many years of mesmerizing showing like a fox dress in a sheep’s wool
Wind from all directions – East, West, North, South – pointing to one truth
Blinded by the perceived fact of what was seen not knowing that it’s not
Deafened by the loud shouts of verity believing that it’s all wrong, a lie
Smell of candles burned every night uttering prayers of all sorts and kinds
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come
As we forgive those who trespass against us and … but deliver us from evil”
Broken halo above, rosaries and prayer books abound the holder’s hand
Makapilis call from the wilderness directed to a willing prejudiced listener
Unceasing litanies of smears to their delight, a refrain from a popular song
Lustitias sword at the victim’s neck sees everything with an imbalance scale
A javelin thrown piercing the spirit and soul wounding feelings of mortals
Loud shouts of verity now haunting, recalling every word heard from them
A painful realization, the voices of truth now clearer more than ever before
Do not be confused with false prophets pretending to be heroes and saints
Turn your back and feel the stab wounds of the traitor with a sweet tongue
Never again will a carrot and a stick be trusted, 1 – 2 – 3 strikes and out
Once is a charm and a lesson one must certainly not forget in a lifetime
Twice is a warning to be firm that the last straw must not be drawn ever
A peaceful life is better than anything else and is all that matters ultimately
