Whoa to the people
who make money and profit
from those less fortunate.
They inhale from worldly castles
and preach from silken pulpits.
while claiming to do God’s will.
They mock and scold
and profess to be righteous
while seeking public acclaim.
They prostrate themselves
with money and possessions
accrued from selfish ideals.
Whoa to the people
who steal from the blind man
and kick at a beleaguered face.
Whose arrogance and mordacity
looks down in disgusted repulsion
to the misfortunes of honest men.
Whose code of ethical reform
fits only their twisted agendas
and vulgates for personal gain.
Whose audacity preaches good will
to men yet castrates a world theater
with volleys of putrid acidic lies
Whoa to the people
who forget what the Book says
“The meek shall inherit the earth”
For they will use your grave
as their triumphant urinal
and spit upon your name.
For they will use your skull
as a footstool and your bones
as implements of daily tasks.
For they will use your blood
as their wine and your soul
will feed their internal flame.
Please tell me what you think

awesome
dearest Charley,
You have written such a powerful poem here. The emotions felt while reading your words, were extremely powerful, so I must agree with the other comments left on your poem.
The third stanza really pulled me in, but these words from that stanza really goose bumped my skin....
For they will use your grave
as their triumphant urinal
and spit upon your name.
For they will use your skull
as a footstool and your bones
as implements of daily tasks.
For they will use your blood
as their wine and your soul
will feed their internal flame.....
