The Corrupt Family
Christianity
Once a maligned cult
Labeled by the main stream
keepers of the faith
as the lunatic fringe
Of course this missive
brought down the hammer
of self righteous persecution
as only religious bigotry can do
Blood was spilled
on the martyr assembly line
Cranking out the saints
who would one day have
their names
attached to lofty cathedrals
Where robed hypocrites
preached the gospel
of intolerance against those
who sing from a different
hymn book
and so it goes...
All the saints and sinners
now congregate in the same place
With stained glass eyes
behind dark glasses
that conceal their lies
and unyielding hate

this is a controversial piece. but I appreciate the historical timeline. well done.
Thanks Glenn.. As a Catholic the irony of a religion that was terribly persecuted in it's infancy by the Roman Empire would evolve into such an intolerant force throughout history has always distressed me..
Perhaps the new Pope can reverse this
An exceptional write, Thanks for sharing. My nomination for your poem dear Steve Green
