         Behind The Alter

 

                    upon this alter the

                    cross is laid.

                    which utters hope.

                    the poor is
embraced

                    to fertility.

 

                   behind the alter are

                   vermin to Lazarus

                   encircled exobitant
levies.

 

                   many are brutalized
to

                   the alter.

                   forecd to disgusting
communion.

                   before the alter are
worms

                   like a flowing
river-

                   as of jordan
baptising.

                   the ulter understands-
but

                   gold except-

                   no other tongue.

 

                   behind the alter are

                   naked souls

                   dancing before
swines.

                   the alter no longer speak

                   purification-but

                   bessoted to gold.

 

                   I dare not to the

                   alter of mundane

                   Not for me!

 

                   for humanity and for
divinity

                   Fortune O.
Akujuobi.
