The Vatican
Foundations built on belief
Brick by intricate brick
The walls rise with authority
The walls built of deception
Belief usurped by greed and control
A dome of truth covers lies
Works of art made by masters
Master carvings express subjugation
The beauty of heaven soars upon ceilings
The hand of God reaches out
Does not touch man’s feelings
God’s love of man expressed in torture
Man’s sins stand out in a colonnade
Hidden truths protected by Swiss costumes
True history lost in deep vaults
Chosen truths see the light
Centuries of wilful ignorance
Papal choices take precedence
The light of gospels consistently denied
St. Peter’s house is bigger than Jesus
Forgotten words not a part of construction
Not in mansions of wood and stone
Jesus chained to the dungeon walls
Never to be seen by tourists
No bones will ever be found
The righteous never look
