An altar of wood and gold

engraved the young and old

reflections of their faces

inked wealth in their skin



Their towers soar high

and walls stand wide

a mighty fortress

for their defense



Brittle stars

Wired sun

Bladed air

feeble fire



oh wretched men!

oh hearts of stone!

why has your pride

swallowed your soul?



where were you

when the world was made?

where were you

when the Blood was shed?



The Lord will come with Holy judgment

And you shall know you are but men.

We are but men
An interesting piece; as a Christian poet myself, I can 'see' and understand the cryptic references contained; perhaps you would consider adding a footnote of Scriptural references, which may help other readers of this poem better understand it; after all, we write to be read while sharing a piece of ourself.
