Altar of Legalism

A description of an image that came to me when I was talking with a friend on how legalism was killing my soul and its fruits were being harvested in my life.

Have you ever seen something so evil?

An image that makes you so sick

A scene so disgusting you feel feeble

Will you face it or run? It's your pick

Look as the creatures come into form 

Antlers with points that puts stags to shame

Gargoylesque in posture upon their platform 

Two figures like statues as they came into frame

Angry faces like goblins that strike fear to the soul

Aggressive in nature and ready to pounce 

Beware these creatures, your morality they seek to control

Yet, it is their sanctuary you must denounce

I ask while observing. Are these demons or goblins?

I don't know. Or a reflection of my sins?

A shrine of medieval nature their home

Shrouded in darkness but visible with candlelight 

Among the Gothic columns their presence is shown

Creepily paired with scarlet walls of Rome

What are these monsters? What do they mean?

They appeared when I faced the lies of legalism 

This image was like something of a dream

Or their dual colors, a representation of a schism?

Does one creature, black like obsidian, represent pure evil?

Or the other, white like alabaster, represent deception?

For a soul killing religiosity does bring upheaval

This apparent vision has awed my perception

Fear such a shrine full of irreverence and evil

This is the unholy legalistic cathedral
