The Great Bells of Saturn
Poetroyalee Jul 2020
The great bells of Saturn,
it cheers from all directions

Never speaking of any true path
but signifying one of many

Her rings, not safe to slide on
seem secure from my location

But I pause, unsure where to start,
doubting if I'm ready.

Oh, the Irony
Poetroyalee Oct 2020
The almighty
preach from
a pulpit propped
by hypocrisy

Jubilant voices
of the choir
are heard across
nation's
with hashtags
and cancellations

Who gives these
preachers their titles ?
Who bows down to them?

One word, one syllable
and the choir follows
with two left feet
and a beehive of amorphous beliefs

The hopes of a new world
pervade their being
whilst the old world
is dragged by the chains
of their feet .

Who gives these
preachers their titles ?
Who bows down to them ?

The almighty
aren't so mighty
but big words
and loud voices
can be as deceiving
as the redundant
cries that wolves
exist where
there are none .

The choir sings
louder ,
their popularity
grows ,
hashtags
proliferate
and all that was
said to be love
ends up being …

Hate ...

— The End —
