The Whited Sepulchre

From fan to fandom
to fanatic
the faith to the faithful
become faithless
abuse is called love
and truth is deemed falsehood

But, oh, how their words
were once lovely
so right
and seemingly sincere
spoken from behind
masks to cover their nature

Instead their hearts
are hardened like Pharaoh
pious pretenders
clutching their pearls
trying to hide themselves
beneath their false virtue – Caroline A. Slee
