Very important message, not a simple poem to be read, rated, praised and voted just, a message to be spread everywhere, a hidden message...we all share this...Then by what impulse...we are suffering from 2 kinds of education, lack of right guidance, and excess of misguidance with no checks at all...Your rhyming sense is an example for students of poetry, but i don't understand the reason why didn't you dwell on the rhyming of the first couplet, don't give up finding the suitable rhyme either for DONE or for WRATH...like bloodbath..., and one more thing, it is good that you know well that you are not only the poet of a select circle who understands the choice English, as far as the important message or commentary on important point is concerned, the diction should be within the reach, and here you have accomplished it! ! !

I've been reading it many times and trying to go deep into it (as all your poems deserve) . It's a sad and gloomy picture but very true and realistic as usual in perfect rhyme. The choice of word and images is apt complementing the theme. And again I would say you could render it perfectly, with some memorable lines/ phrases: 'to them the virtuous virgins appear in twisted rants....a holiness feign' and many like these.
