**When doves faltered
and babies cried,
hence blood was shed
in the name of the Father,
as every mother's breast
was purged of her child
grown to a man, only to die
defending his brother's religion,
and no human was spared
the wrath of wartime communion
in contradictions of holy water's delusions**
