New
Bronzes
Arched
hooves of demons,
skin
as silk or leather
wearing
constraining vesture.
Worshipping
black crosses,
a
series of other vulgar effigies.
A
bowing intoxication to pitch,
unsaintly
indifference to anger burning.
Contemporary
statuaries,
dark
with the stain of blood,
their
legacy carved on corrupt hearts.
Their
deception exists in their own psyche
and
de-evolves beyond.
It’s
easy to pinpoint their fallacies.
Thieves
at work,
found
in the latitudes of torments drawn down.
All
seasons thick
with
the suicide of broken hearts,
terrified
with shock.
The
crude quarantine of salvation,
nothing
but distaste for the councils of heaven.
Occult
power desired,
and
a new age with new bronzes stands,
where
that once beatified is dead.
New
Bronzes will stand
until
man finds new mettle
and
a more dauntless spirit.
