Vatican Inc -

Nubile nunnery roped to subordination and enslaved, Robes and Crucifixes belie the hidden theft of innocence, Perverse priests stand in anticipation of the fresh flesh, Gods words fall short of these man made ordinations, Hysterical heretics hollow “thine” words. Mafia funds circulated and returned, Lucifer’s laundry now open for the burn; Papal infidelities are kept hidden by fallacy and immunity, His infallibility and desires kept secret by the Swiss community, God’s words tainted by the pope’s bejewelled mandibles, Biblical proverbs moulded to protect desire within intangibles, The threat of the eternal burn broadens the congregation “collection”, Increased capital makes for greater artistic selection. The hallways are golden, and the pathway to heaven is private property bought up, The light scared off by secrets that suffocate the lives within, Gold framed da Vinci’s are lined up and left to become jaded escapes. The Garden of Eden surrounds the walls no apple trees to entice the weak to fall, The empty statues Trojan weapons luring in the awe struck audience, People mill around bewildered by man made work rather than the beauty of what lies within. Mother Mary stands tall and is weighed down with their sin, A man made invention to pretend that they’re forgiven. The divine comedy ends, Darkness shrouds the Vatican . Only one light is left for revelation, It's not trapped on earth. It’s up in heaven and looking down at this act with little mirth.
