Scorched Cardinal Feathers Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Scorched Cardinal Feathers

Rating: 5.0


Naked they stand
In front of God
No robes to hide
Their vile sins

Blinded by light
Deafened by sound
Enticed by Satan
They're cowering now

Jesus projects their lives
On such towering screens
Every minute detail
Not one damn thing to be spared

Scorched cardinal feathers
Smell up purgatory
Sins of holy fathers
Have now been so avenged

WoW! ! ! Thank you for putting wings to my thoughts on this horrendous abuse of trust the Catholics have in their religious leaders.
