Religions Under Siege(Haiku+tanka)
RELIGIONS UNDER SIEGE
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
priests under scanner
preach, not practice, seems deadly
what of believers?
there is turmoil
virus effect in.all faiths
top brass embroiled
faithful awoken
by tremors felt.far and wide
and pillars shakennuns saying 'me too'
lets cat among the pigeons
it is not voodoo
tumbling out are skeletons
taking hedonists head on?
- -
hedonist- people who believe that the pursuit of happiness and pleasure is the sole purpose of life. Some of our religious leaders seem to be hedonists in the garb of monks.

A probing overview of the situation. Hypocrisy of these people is rightly exposed.
Thanks for your appreciation, dear poet!
