Around the flickering lamp

Around the flickering lamp 

-----------------------

Colony and slavery,

World famous name,

Wine, bullet, women, cigar, go with them,

Abundance, at the cost of coloured men,

Synonyms of wars, revenge, for kingdom and empire,

Children, old and women fried in oil of greed and deceased tears,

But light of love, flickering  in cottages of poor.

Popes, Bishop, Father and Priest, white they wear,

On its surface sugar we test, black spots looks very clear,

Beneath it, black and red ants are full grown,

Drinking the blood including Christ's sacraments,

Here and there,

That's the story narrated, own sermons of Churches and Christ, 

May the cross stumped any where.
