In those split seconds
the mask fell off
and
years of cultivated pretence
the façade of communion
the holier than thou
the genteel allusions of the gentiles
shattered like a porcelain  vase in a vestry
the mask fell off
and the demons that possessed the host
showed their real faces
devious sinister and religiously cunning
wearing camouflage as prim
and straight-backed as a Sunday school teacher
none but none would know
the hidden truth for demons move in mysterious guises
and wear their chosen hosts
in the most disingenuous styles for no one is safe but the chosen few
and so it came to pass
as I knew it would in this Principality of the Dark One
in this age of End Times
so on an evening never foreboding
in the Blessed omnipresence of My One and True God
in my abiding Light
in my gifted pious silence
the demons felt the Force of The Archangels surround
became overcome and grossly agitated
the mask fell off
banal screeches emitted
and they fled, pulling the disfigured host with them
out of the door
rebuked by the voiceless command of The Omnipotent
The Divine Incorruptible One and True God
