What a great scheme for the powers of darkness
A Haiku

Devil’s Kettle Built

Vatica Hill in Rome
Basilica erected there
The Devils Kettle built

St Peter’s Square formed
Vatican City rises
Devil’s Kettle built

The pope has got it right
The devil wears a skullcap
Devil’s Kettle built

Kettle brews a demon
Inside the priestly walls
Devil’s Kettle built

Built on Indulgence
Squeezing every last breath
Devil’s Kettle built

Catacomb secrets
Bubbling away for years
Devil’s Kettle built

Wealth beyond measure
The Gold, Frankincense and Myrr
Devils Kettle built

Squalor in the streets
Outside St Peter’s acres
Devil’s Kettle built

Fuelled by greedy
Power hungry Cardinals
Devil’s Kettle built

No god would touch them
Within a Catholic mile
Devil’s Kettle built
