Des Killian
See no evil
looming high above
beady black and vacant eye
watching the world decay
as they wait idly by
Hear no evil
piercing screeches, church bells toll
words written in red unheard
auriculars or willful ignorance
covering their ears
Speak no evil
preachers spew vile
hypocrisies
while gossips whisper and leer
condemning the innocent
Do no evil
feathery palms black
with misdeeds
sweep their sins away
every lovely Sunday
Vultures sit atop the parapets
as birds of prey file inside the pews
