Block out all light

Erase all color

Preach hatred from the pulpit

Destroying every hint of love

Twist language and words

To serve a dark purpose

Strip humanity from the soul, from the mind, from the heart

Every one of us a pharaoh

Impassive and hardened

Ignoring the lives of those around us

Calling this mockery by the name of God

The name of faith

The name of virtue

Blind to our hypocrisy

And the devil living inside ~ Caroline A. Slee
