The Bishop

Aha, the bishop said.
He was the man in charge with the lifestyle no one had.

Oh my god, all thought.
Due to their position, low on the ladder, they rarely dared to speak out.

Questioning, complaining or gossiping
It's not smart for the kind
Those who want absolute peace of mind.

Making sure of a place in paradise is already hard and expensive enough.

No one knew how he would respond
Explode or be friendly
Easily assaulted.

It could be worse, way worse...
Spit on the Sunday dress of a sibling
A smile on a face during a walk in the park.

The result no forgiveness for the small act called sin.

Bishop was always busy, surrounded by darkness His eyes and ears present, ready to charge the next sin.

It's a deposit, he stated after calculating and demanding
Receiving the indulgences' paid by every soul in the region.
