Chaos is upheld through the breath of ignorance.

Devious worshipers scream out, "blasphemy!" with a dagger behind their backs.

Innocent lives perish in the flames of deranged morality.

My own illusion helps me to cleanse in showers of blood!

The clock ticks in unison, for thee.

This reminds me of the kind of poetry I used to write.  It's a good condemnation of organized religion with its hypocritical back-stabbing tendencies.  

If you had critique enabled I'd suggest you made your lengthy lines into aphoristic haikus.  But then I'd be overly presumptuous about the general applicability of my own style in writing lines like that

Life's short.  Think hard!
Me!
