“Sec”
Sharply Strikes
The Back Of Your Throat
To Emote Pure Disdain From It.

“U”
Slinks Through
The Centre Of The Word
To Unfurl Disgust Between Your Teeth.

“Lar”
Floats Past
Your Flaccid Tongue
And Saliva Strung, It Wreaks Of Superiority.

Ironically, Should Such An Ugly Word Associate With Anything Holy.

It seemed fitting that a piece on religion be part of this past Saturday’s prompt “Capitalize This”. As always J.D. Harms, thank you for the inspiration.

It still stuns me how a few carefully chosen and simply placed words can break my heart.
