The Red Priest
(Wayne La Pierre)
He will tell you he is white, as he must be to lead his (un)holy cult.
In truth he is red, covered in the constantly renewed blood of innocents.
His flock has been taught not to see it. It never has the time to darken
into the black crust of age or the faded brown of mere stains.
These colors they would not accept as they mark those he teaches them to fear.
He teaches the sanctity of his creed over the sanctity of life
so they know that only he will save them from the despised others.
Sacrifices must be made, are made daily in every part of the land to mark him
with new blood. It is the blood of the black men and the brown men they fear.
It is the blood of their own children. It is a sacrifice they accept to appease their fear.
In the cult of the gun he is the high priest. He is the red priest.
