RELIGIOUS
FANATICISM
Stephen Gill
Mental labyrinth;
bearer of deformed urchins
in the ruins of assumptions.
A leper
caressing humanity
under false pretences;
volcano
when it blusters.
It grows
on the babel of confusion
in the lap of
the blinding dust of vanity
by the arrogant prince of ignorance.
It breeds
the daughters of fire
storm and wound.
It leads
the adders of dread
destruction
disdain
and
distance.
