The Wolf Comes Knocking (+1)

The pinnacle of abuse

 is preying on your own

Jackal, politician,

mercenary, or priest

Their cloak of deception

 hiding unspoken lies

Approaching your doorstep

—in the guise of a friend

 

(The New Room: January, 2021)

 

 

 

\"Condemned To Repeat...

 

The Pharisees vengeance,

unleashing again

 

To kill a ‘false’ prophet,

their fear redescends

 

The cross is made ready,

like ages before

 

The nails though still rusty,

hammer deep and secure

 

Their memories short sighted,

rejecting the fact

 

The last one they crucified…

 alive and intact

 

A new Resurrection

they’re about to ensure

 

Through hatred and envy

—damnation procured

 

(For Sister Marcella: January, 2021)
