The vast occurrences found in Florence
Were drenched with sin pouring from sources known
During the time of Caesare Borgia
The papacy was not unlike the throne;
Incestuous behavior ran amok
So rank and foul those bloodied robes of shame
That babes’ were born with limbs askew, like roots
And Holy Fathers slaughtered men like swain;
Puppeteers disguised by Godlike halos
They flew on horses wing’d with blackest night
And laid Christians into soft beds of earth
Those sweetest dreams of many martyred knights;
Alas, with doctrine pure as midnight snow
The world gives faith to what it doesn’t know.

Author's Comments
Caesare Borgia was the son of Pope Alexander the sixth. The sonnet referes to the time period in Florence, Italy where the papacy and the church was corrupt. Nepotism and simoney was common and so were bastard sons of the clergy.
So, enjoy.  |
