Dark clouds on the horizon

Under the glaring Sun -

Omnipresent Hope,

Still, many usurp 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 unfaillingly

Failing The Test?
