Just Lies

Gary Edward Geraci

 

I do think there are holy priests

Who do withhold from the feasts

 

Of pleasure and comfort seeking

Committed to exposing the reeking

 

Lies of a godless culture

Where God’s death is “food for the vulture”

 

And my next breath is sustained

By a material process maintained

 

In an infinite series

Of coincidental mysteries

 

Yet subject to the radical manipulations

Of woefully deficient compilations

 

Of wholly defiant ideations

Of the stuff that’s failed nations

 

Fall falling felled failing to rise

Rise Christ rise I don’t believe the lies

 

Just lies

Just lies

    A fine write Gary.
    Some Bible versions have 'eagles' for 'vultures', I've noticed.

      Yes, I’ve noticed that too and the eagle is revered here in the USA although, as of late, the revisionist historians would much rather it be the vulture. Thanks for stopping by!
