Distant From The Protection Of Darkened Shadows

With their judgements passed.
And limited insights now entrapping...
Where are those who had once professed,
Their values and standards kept...
Had been better than the rest.

With their institutionalized consciousness,
And their structures of devotion...
Where faithfully they would go,
To superficially confess.
How can they explain their complaints,
That grow?

Where do these hypocrites,
Hide their woes?
While the others they have shunned...
Dance in the welcoming rays of Sun,
Without expressing or showing fear.
And appear...
Distant from the protection of darkened shadows.
