Don't be fooled





A metal sculpture stands guard at the pool edge
The priestly headdress lends power and grace
His riveted gown drips blue and red blood
Inviting birds to perch and cats to rub.

Don't be fooled!

He is unable to save drowning souls
Looking away in stormy weather
Two faced in times of need
Rusted and hollow at his very core.
