Based on Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory.. seemed suitable for Lent on the dark side.. Read the novel to see why more accurately….
The Whiskey Priest by Michael Romani Anger has replaced ambition With the drive to drink Even a priest's contrition Couldn't fail to find the brink Out there on the edge Both feet inching toward the ledge Living in a daily devotion He's victim to his gluttonous emotions Religious vestiges are ordered burned The lessons of greed have gone unlearned Truth and light are all but not It's getting to the point, he's hoping he's caught Once he felt so awe inspired Now, he's mostly feeling naught but tired Raw suffering strains toward redemption Solid in its masses of stark contemplation Vexatious in its morality for Lent It's these cleansing moments that we repent In this lost haven of a holy man's mental jungle This becomes a time for transcendence over struggle (c) March 30, 2019 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
