W. ROCK OF AGES
There once was a bastion of the faith, a Cephas
Of the resolve of stone.
Truer than an arrow; a son of lightening and thunder;
Children believed in his word
Like a voice of many waters that
Floods the mind with promise of fulfilled desires.
There was a megalomaniac voice to be heard
Upon his bully pulpit and
In the lairs and intuitional asylums of hallowed shouts.
Was heard the fears that only those in the dark understand.
Piled up arsenals amassed would not his fear allay
In the hallowed conservative domains of compassion;
Where mother’s milk dried upon the parched rock
And upon this stone was built the new church
Of forced hegemony; of insinuation pronounced
Upon the clueless masses
That imbibed, swallowed, and recreated new fear
That would withstand the rock of ages
this is a very powerful poem...
it reminds me of the CIA's secret payments to certain
wolves clothed as pastors... to program their submissive
flocks into the belief that whoever is in the White House
was chosen by God
Jesus gave people the power of God
while Paul encouraged slaves to obey their masters
