Gasping soul

Knows nil

With no zeal

Of scanning

Its chaos

And division;

Knows nothing

Of the Mind

And Hands

That made it,

The Heart

That sustains it

Till grasping

Its murky land

Self-created hell than

Settling for

Illusory victory bell

Still, sin can

Be a teacher

Heart penitent is

A valiant heart

Penitential

Humble disposition

Is unfailing position

"Repent or perish!"

Ditch thirst nightmarish,

Mud of deceit,

Putrefying hand

Of power and greed,

Comatose sense,

Muck of offense,

Soulless force

Betroth balsamic,

Farsighted remorse.

Rebuff all wrong

To be

Deathlessly strong.

Defeat swamp of deceit,

Trashing corrosive lies,

Banning fiendish crimes

Spurning spiritual aridity,

Being gallant complier

To refreshing

In high favor - servility

Lands weedy,

Grounds rocky

Cannot bring Home

Wealth of sustaining,

Golden grain

In spite of

Glistening Sun

And sheets of rain.
