~selling the sacred

~selling the sacred

A Poem by Katherine Wyatt

   She never would have seen the lie behind the orange robes

..holy men were supposed to be faithful

  
 He lied like honey on top of the most sacred mountain

     it took another of his kind to reveal him


   selling the sacred for the price of betrayal.....

       green is the new color for those in orange robes

    he believes in what he preaches
    but his heart .... was never as important 
   as his head... 


how easy to be bought

how many holy men are not...
