Blood Taints God's PuddingA Poem by Captain UglyThe black greasy crust scraped from the walls of my soul.
Blood taints God’s pudding Inedible, inane Praise raised with violence In agony: Truth slain Authority beyond that which is offered Limbs of creation lay hewn on cold alters As faltering souls sing in sick disarray Sun sleeps beneath the smoke of the day Blood taints God’s vintage Befouled, besot Faith based in hatred With tragedy bought Majority in chains of times and locations Curdled lies scrawled upon pure salvation As fumbling small minds think murder away Sun sleeps behind the smoke of the day Blood cakes God’s fingers But not for His sin Threaded in rhetoric Sealed with dead “Amen!” Imploring me to ask: Can Love caress hate? And set my own evils in the offering plate. As crumbling new Babel sends servants astray Sun sleeps behind the smoke of the day Broken in darkness, all mortals pray. Sun sleeps behind the smoke of the day. © 2009 Captain UglyReviews
