going through the motions

Orthodox

right opinion,

doctrines and beliefs.

preachers

teachers,

great high priests-

three prayers a day,

heads bowed to the east.

revelation

future fortold,

prophets of doom-

heaven of bliss,

world of gloom

betrayed by a kiss.

crosses

stars,

crescents proclaim-

what we are in this life,

but in the end.....

.... we're the same.
