A Violation of Something Sacred

Sacrilege is the violation or injurious treatment of a sacred object. It can come in the form of irreverence to sacred persons, places, and things. When the sacrilegious offence is verbal, it is called blasphemy. In a less proper sense, any transgression against what is seen as the virtue of religion would be a sacrilege. "Sacrilege" originates from the Latin sacer, sacred, and legere, to steal, as in Roman times it referred to the plundering of temples and graves. By the time of Cicero, sacrilege had adopted a more expansive meaning, including verbal offences against religion and undignified treatment of sacred objects. more »

With blatant deception they rape the fields of life,
With brutal destruction enforcing hatred and strife,
They take beauty in their hands yet put back only pain,
Their bigotry and greed has always been the same.
With blind acceptance with swallow all their lies,
Engulfe
D by their hatred we learn only to despise,
They have nothing in their arrogance, their narrow minded stance,
But they won't open up their eyes to even give it just a chance.
