my own state

more respect for the group is lost
certain fold hid babes after buried coup
hundreds of years past, a venture to their crypt
shed light on deviant clergy practices
not just priests who fled from sight
or entertained alter boys at night
but respectable nuns in my region threw
events paralleled by the taming of the shrew
had their share of unpublicized frolic
yet the child needed respite from certain colic
was transported to floors below basement level
sounds of his cry was muted
recorded history convoluted
a woman in black and white met her mate
a child born behind granite blocks,
her babe met definite fate
below basement level carried
to shield a truth bearers didn't tarry
under the basement level of a nave
below corporal punishment level too
a child could cry until eventually blue.

Where there is Light, there is also shadow.

A powerful piece of solar-plexus-punching poetry.
