Reverence

Oh, venerated pious phantoms

Wallowing in woeful worship,

Would you know the difference between

Deference and self-respect?

 

Basking in the adoration,

Yearning to be glorified,

Seeking profound crowd-approval,

Knowing not what to expect.

 

Here we tip and toe the line.

Here we wait and quiet stay.

In this house of humble homage

Honor bids us to obey.

 

Out there where the world awaits

With talons drawn in malefaction

Glides the eagle of swift motion

Living just for satisfaction.

 

In the middle

Of the muddle

Where we lack in confidence,

We must walk in silent awe

Cloaked in earnest reverence.
