Pious Watcher
(DUP contest entry)
I have served without question
All these years in this glorious life
That you have given to me
There has never been any hesitation
To perform or obey
My only desire is to do your work
In this your most holiest of houses
But Satan dwells in it as well
His torment well hidden
From treading on hallowed ground
The great deceiver has deceived us all
I am witness to his evil and
Assaulted by the stench
Emanating from his sickness
From his lustful ways
I have tried to reach the man within
Pleaded for acts of contrition
That may save his very soul but
The evil entity is too strong and
The man within loses all control
My strife goes unnoticed by all
If you perceive you do not say
I take it as a sign
A test that I must complete and
As I kneel here crying
I cannot deny to myself or to you
That I have failed to protect your house
I have failed to protect your flock
From the disciple that once vowed
To do what falls to me now
I have looked for another way
If there is one
I cannot see it
Please forgive me for breaking my vows
Please forgive me for breaking your commandments
But it must be done
It must not dwell in your house one more day
The beast must die
I only want to serve you
In this life and the one after
If you will allow me
Please give me the strength
That I need to rid this church and
All it’s people of this terrible man
Amen
