Renewal?

Theodore Zendarski

Who would sell that which they do not own?

Who kept quiet that truth not be known?

Who betrayed souls their faith now uncertain?

Who moved devils behind a secretive curtain?

Who empties His houses in the guise of renewal?

Who shattered its victims with lies and betrayal?

Who conveniently had loss of common sense?

Who eluded punishment expecting others to do penance?

Who dismays and dismantles the dwindling flock?

Who empties memories trading reverence for shock?

Who scoffs at laws specified in their own cannon?

Who pays their council with large sums of mammon?

Who has squirreled away substantial resources?

Who deems such is needed to fund other courses?

Who will litigate estates to take from rightful heirs?

Who does all they will yet maintain that they care?
