Sacred stalemate

Idolatry at war with sacred hearts

has drawn the line in Fifth to fight for faith. 

For where are souls offered? The changes start

in pocket books.  Cathedral bells or bait
for sinful lusts? Across from angels stand
the mockery of angels spread.  Beyond
the walls of disillusionment so damned
stands row on row of reinforcements spawned
by greed and hedonistic child's play.
Basilicas, like battleships bulwarked,
are block-bound fortresses for those who pray
against the swirling school of fetid sharks
who call sin culture and defy God's laws
and yet will never overcome our cause.
