Bloated Morality

Table of gold

inlaid jewels

(greed)

set with ignorance

set with entitlement

set with rampant disregard

for anything that impedes

destroys

tests

the belief held

the superiority felt

enter the conclave.

Come one

come all

insinuate self

introduce sin

into the kingdom of god.

Succulent dreams

temptations

likes of which

never seen

forever shrouded

mist of needs.

Delusions

atop the high horse

(pride)

fall will come

no more hiding

no more denying

tarred

feathered

fall from grace

fall from……

Spread before the altar

tales told

inanities muttered

penance 

shouted

performed on roof tops.

(Too little.

Too late.

Broken trust.

Broken faith.)

Silence 

forever quoted.

Lies 

epitome of truth.

Judged nevermore

at the golden gates.
