Dark clouds on the horizon under the glaring Sun...
Omnipresent hope, many presume none...
Hunger heedless inhabits the mind of a ghost,
Unhearing of the Power Omnipotent of the Host...
Twister of the paralyzed:
Enthroning villains,
Uncrowning heroes,
Subjecting the unsuspecting to hostile exile...
Approvers of the impenitent,
Exciting truths, they claim, shall expire,
Foolishness empire, unwittingly they admire,
Wallow on the stage of mediocrity -
Runaway 'winners'! Goody-goody sinners!
Disremembering:
Silence luminous...
Noise ominous...
Repute formidable,
Weak side pardonable...
From nature the lessons of self-renunciation -
Paved by martyrs' blood... restoration...
A daisy unenvious, ungrudging of rose,
Slavery mindless, overlooking both daisy and rose.
Teasingly tantalizing
Grotesque vegetations of egocentricity;
Ignoring immortal glimpses of Christocentricity...
Christocentric longevity... egocentric brevity;
Ambushed by less than enriching edifice
In quandary amiss...
Undiscerning of the footprints of Light
From footfalls of night...
Judas-like... fright...
Do their hearts rest?
Or are they unfailingly failing The Test?
