You are Damned<\/p>\n
Calcuable Man.<\/p>\n
A sack of sacrifice<\/p>\n
strapped to your shoulders.<\/p>\n
A handful of silver,<\/p>\n
a kiss on Christ’s cheek.<\/p>\n
Romans on the road and<\/p>\n
you taking us down with you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Divine in your deception you<\/p>\n
smirk at your Holy plan.<\/p>\n
Secrets between the two of you<\/p>\n
to bless us with salvation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yet I, I am left with your seed<\/p>\n
and a mouthful of soot.<\/p>\n
Apologies, apologies, apologies,<\/p>\n
regret to fill our bellies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No water or wine.<\/p>\n
No bread, no fish.<\/p>\n
No absolution from<\/p>\n
your sacred sin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am a shadow of your House.<\/p>\n
Dirty floor, dirty feet.<\/p>\n
A rabid wolf at the threshold<\/p>\n
snapping at my bones.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thirty pieces of silver,<\/p>\n
stars in my darkened sky.<\/p>\n
Flung at the boots of soldiers<\/p>\n
marching you to your demise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh Precious Martyr, I your Misses.<\/p>\n
Wherefore lies the fault in your foolishness?<\/p>\n
Did you find eternal life at the<\/p>\n
end of that rope in the Yew tree?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
