A Child... As Unproductive Product...

I - the tiny embryo
defiantly - to laws divine - conceived
by "procreators deceived"
through methods contemptible
not fit for human...
sinful, disgraceful...
unbefitting to man!
monstrously

Converse With Shepherd Dateless

Under dark ominous clouds...
Thoughts of mine rowing with Being Celestial
His Voice melodic, earnest... seemingly terrestrial:

Grieve we must grieve over hearts buried...

Protectoral Palm

(For the unborn victims...)

sins of commission
sins of omission
as grains of sands
fearing to take stands?
yet drops of blood
soaking all lands!

can't hear the wailing

A Self-Satisfied (?!) Nescient

They knit fabric in repulsive colors
still, sport unduly grin in high held chin!

Can a mind be convinced of its idiotic whim?
Can one reason when there is need of reason

Bankruptive Terrain?

failing to speak of You
out of love only...
make the lips mute...

***
not to worship You
born of love only...
make the mind sterile...
the upshot - dreadfully dire...

Setting Free

Barren are the hands of the one who is unseeing,
While mighty is the brain
And mighty are the hands of the one whose heart
Is in tears and filled with pity for all,

Ardent Lover

Remaining in the all-penetrating Eye
or taking flight from Omniscient Might?! -
(swirl of toil laborious... fruitless... external
parting company from glimpse eternal?!)

Unredeemed...

Looking down
what largely to descry
but an idolatrous eye -
image uninviting...
spreading shade... startling,
selfishness... saber-rattling,
greed... wolfish, all-swallowing

Dead Thievery

Inflicting incurable wounds
That are ever "hopeless" to heal...
Backing abominable crimes, which
They would have cursed and
Banned for themselves...

Frightful vileness of mortals, slaying

Benefits Forgotten

Mortal - the ungrateful wretch
Taking all things as one's due
Inflated with incurable pride
Fell ingrate - unaware that
Oblivion is a deadly crime
Frightful knave - unknowing of

Take-Home Pay

Now that you arrived in the afterlife,
What was your earned income?

Hope you did not see the ugliness
Of laziness, greediness, and loftiness,
Damaging gratifications of hideous temptations,

Sacrilegious Thieving

To be honorably wise is to be living in Christ...
Verily, the strictly unwise are against Christ;
To sin against Truth and Love is to be a lifeless dope,
Being devoid of life-giving hope...

Harbor of Refuge

Some choose dying out and murder over being
Shun the goal of truth - Sacred Dogma and relation
Between Creator and creation;
Trust more self than saintly rule,
Unwitting, that lacking fidelity

Honorable Chivalry

Within each soul imprint divine...
Baptismal dignity radiating splendent light -
The Life of Holy Trinity...
Life must ascend from waters of purgation

Spiritual Foes

Denial of You...
Can be as subtle as a gentle breeze
Covering pile of ungoverned cravings
Settling mind restless at bogus ease...

Rejection of You...
So far-reaching, fiercely creeping
