After Watching The Last Act Of “Don Carlos”

Joseph Hart

The ultimate authority - The Church!
Whether deviation or submission,
Everything relates back to The Church!
In truth or madness - an imagined god!
The Grand Inquisitor! Is in control
Of good and bad. For kings. The minds of all.
He’ll die. But will not rot as normal men.
Miscreants! Obeisance! Even Wilde -
Hardly the iconoclast he seemed -
He merely stood convention on its head -
Deriving from, returning to convention -
Requested sacraments before he died.
Nothing has the power of The Church!
God himself is in the congregation.
