Demon Lie Exposed
Under the shroud of blind obedience,
the Church forever hides
Its loyalty to the Pope and Rome,
it chides and chides and chides
Canon Law and its corrupted faith
walk proudly side by side….
“Where a child of eight
in parochial school
was brainwashed deep inside”
But guilt then crumbled, damnation cursed
by heavens light deposed
The truth and God now one again
—the demon lie exposed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2013)
