White peaked hoods
Black cassocks
Epaulettes
Ornate pointy headwear
Sweeping, swooshing robes
with gold and glitz
that make a mockery of vows of poverty
of sackcloth and ashes
Ceremonial tunics
with braiding and sashes
and swords and dashes of brass
and lashes of buttons
that attempt to dress up mass-murder
as a noble career
What is it with grown men and costumes?
