View From the Spire

By J Scott Sly

…,oh blessed be,

the men that plot these vile heresies.

From lofted view of Anglo-spire,

we watch and wait whilst you lot conspire.

Whilst we wait, the world does turn,

we sit and wait in hopeful hush of a midnight burn.

Yet, through the years that come to pass,

little is done to upset the Mass.

With so much talk of Brimstone and death,

we've come to expect a better show yet.

And the men who promise to piss and conspire,

you've done little else than to stoke their fire.

There again...
