Unholy Spirit
A dark wooden pulpit enshrines the inner sanctum
Where stand glass edifices in choral formation
Others; as effigies of the crucifixion against hallowed walls
The monetary organ silent before the sermon begins
Stools, pew like await the next intoxicating preacher
Demons of congregations past exude from every pore
Pious devotees take their place before the altar
Praying for the redemption of indiscretions past
Their melodic chants of absolution
Sacrificial lambs to an age-old God
Frenzied tongues transcend parishioners to another consciousness
To lure them into a hypnotic stupor
False promises of enlightenment from the bottom of a bottle
Devoted worshippers to the messiah Alcohol
