Underneath

[Viktor Vaughn]

You wear the greatest of 
Disguises
 I'm not sure if the affect of capitalising 'disguises' is fully appreciated. I don't know if it's fully needed
To the congregation 

You appear the lamb

Laying upon the stone alter

A symbol of sacrifice.
 I don't quite like the way this line reads in conjunction with the previous. I'm not sure if it's the wording itself, or if there could be more to develop this line, but it seems a bit empty

But you are the priest

With a cold blade
 cold is a good word, it gives the right image
In your hand

"For with this you shall be healed" you say

Why must I repent?

How hath I sinned?
 Worthy questions, but they lack impact because they lack image.

Let the blood drip at your feet

Remove your robes

And allow them to see why? Illustrate more

The heartless reaper 

Underneath

Not a bad poem, but there isn't much there. It's a lot of statements without much image or picture to back those statements up. As such, it doesn't really stand out, although it has the potential to.
