A Man In Purple Robe Poem by Doris Cornago

A Man In Purple Robe

Rating: 5.0


Away in that land where sly dragons roam
Been there, a city of well-paved streets
Deceived, no rubbish anywhere but
Evil lurks in the hearts of men
Dancing in rituals, make
Them come to your
Conferences
Pray
Over the
Sick, healing
Comes out of grace
Not your prowess, crap
Comes in purple robes donned
By holy priests of all races, indistinct
Gullible people lap untruths served in gold
Platters, costing gold, welcome to the fold, all told

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is my response to the question where my deep anger comes from. I've been exorcising the ghosts of the past but one arises upon seeing a landmark which is a reminder of that anger. We are the sum of our experiences, true, but we should not let bad experiences diminish our zest for life.: -)

You cannot make me believe your unseen God when I can see how you live your life.: -)
