"Gaurdians of Holy Truth" [Guardians= though spelled correctly in the poem, itself]


I love the visual that this line invokes:
"A slaughter will cleanse you.
Cheribums sanctify an unholy mess,
Fire will burn each unholy wretch" good rhyme mess/wretch.

Good alliteration here:
peep and pervert
Injury and injustice


"His eyes see's all" [sees- no apostrophe needed]

His eyes see's all,
When he sends the man around
A slaughter will cleanse you.
Cheribums sanctify an unholy mess,
Fire will burn each unholy wretch;
What will you become, when,
The man comes around.
Unholy desire will cease,
Rich purity blesses God's peace.

What will you do? This is a great interpretation Bic of the biblical passage.

If it is satire poetry, indeed, it is an extremely good derisive pasticcio of the wailing and cursing of those who believe that they inherited a right upon God, through some special business arrangement.
Good satire, good poem, well structured, words very well chosen.
I like.
