DEADLY LABOR

 

Pile of ungoverned cravings

Rotten to the core habits

Raising castles in the air

Itching palm and wolfishness

Tied to hopeless selfishness.

Imbued with pride -

Green to its mutilation;

In the dark, to its deformation

Lacking comeliness

And unflappable lowliness.

 

Sealed brains and bolted -

Unopenable hearts

Cowardly, dastardly

Abjectly imbecile

Obtusely indocile

Contemptible

Despicable babbling,

Mental dogtrot

Down-and-out lot.

 

Malicious dispositions

In self-seeking

Thrill-seeking competitions,

Pave the way to depravation

(Finishing off in dispossession);

Mammon raving machines,

Chaotic self-consideration,

Forgetting the liberality -

The most giving limbs of Love.

 

Unaware of meddling in infernal place

Refusing remedies of Grace

Deprived of wings of modesty and compliance

In need of intimate with the Designer Alliance

Growing weaker due to inedible, deadly food,

Rejecters of restoring - heavenly good

Without the wings of innocence and humility

Cannot reach the overabundant regions of Benignity.

Another great satirical work with profound spiritual insights. Dr. Kardas, your God-given wisdom and expressive skills are really amazing! Each line is a superb example of what poetics should do...challenge our intellects and hearts - FULL BLAST. Without innocence and humility we can't expect to ever become wise and truly content. Yes, God does reward our humility and virtues! God bless you, JO
