Strange Chambers

Dark gray shadows
Extracted from walls
Ever present misery
Before they fade into oblivion.

Strong black hair upon a head
Holding it back
From a wall of splatter paint.

The Chamber, red rooms
Of doomed
Where cries were unheard
Nor the pain inflicted
Known.

Rooms of death
Where Tools of the arts
Poked, stretched, whipped, chained
A pleasure for some
I am sure
Not the laid upon.

The innocent
Accused
By false witnesses
Persecuted
Properties confiscated.

Inhumane, leathered monsters
behind hoods, smelled of death
faces unknown
Artist of tears and pain
To them
Meant the same.

Can you believe, this horrors
Were performed
For hundreds of years
By The Church
Under the cloak,
Of inquisition?
Oh! Talk to me, about religion.

Oh! Talk to me, about religion

A quite profound piece, William. When studying our human history, I've often wondered whether organized religion has been a blessing, or a curse, to mankind. True, it's brought some good things, but it's also brought tons of violence, and sparked bloody bloody wars.

Ah, times they are a changein', now priests just molest little boys, how far have we "actually" come...? Different one for you, Bill, darker with a tinge of horror, but good to see difference I think, Ed & rufuz

William, We've certainly come a long way not to be going anywhere. Sometimes I think we are going backwards.
Truly an inspiring piece of writing..I'm just glad the churches have remembered their real role. Peace. The teachings of peace.
Interesting write William.

Yes but we in the west have moved from medieval Times.

Whilst other can't adapt to the 21st century..

There lies a problem..

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
