LIFE-AND-DEATH

LIFE-AND-DEATH

No inhale,

No exhale...

Can go unnoticed... unpunished...

Impenitent disgrace against Light

With no trace can ever vanish...

Frightened to death by cruelest night

Punish the senses... Severely punish!

With unsparing... core servile

Detesting fully debaucheries vile

Bearing in mind Beatific Gate...

The telluric appetite - fervently mortify

Bloodthirsty demons - by lowly mien... terrify

Frightened to death by ruthless night

Infernal monsters, place of dead and lost...

Pay! on earth the highest cost...

By single-minded penance, sacrifices heroic

Good will, alms-giving and sufferings stoic!

To His Healing Wounds... bind...

Victorious Bloody Footprints... find...

Frightened to death by eternal night

The everlasting, devouring, torturing fire,

The never-ending pain procured by unjust gain,

The fleeting, pleasure-loving, disordered desire,

The heart-rending, agonizing "living" demise,

The mocking, violent, demonic eyes,

The inconsolable lamentations and piercing cries,

The hellish malice for deriding the All-Healing Chalice...

Corrupters of clean hands

Reprobates obstinate

Violators of innocence

Gaze at His spotless Countenance

Bearing in mind His Holy Wrath

For no one escapes His Hands...

No one escapes... life or death...

When the breathing world ends...

Love the prudent, provocative, bold, and mordant wit of your poems. I keep returning to your pages for they tell me you are most certainly concerned for mankind's final end. Everyone should be impelled and provoked to re-examine their ways of life and improving before it is indeed TOO late! I do apologize for not commenting on each poem, sometimes I feel the need just to meditate and digest the message before taking action. But I do encourage everyone to read each line carefully. FROM A LOYAL READER

Thank you for this enjoyable message written in a grand poetic style, and well-wishing, well-intentioned characterization. Hopefully, through the power of divine Grace, I shall draw nearer to living up to this kind word portrait. Offering some assistance to others in the pursuing of salvation is my sacred desire and duty. Wishing you profusion of Grace and hence never-fading joys... D.K.

Reading your art motivates one to move his anchor more securely into more scrupulous waters. We ALL need to rekindle our relationship with God. Blessings to our noble nuncio...well done!
