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

Infuriated as tropical cyclone sweeping...

Absurd!

That lies destructive, mortifying

Grow as weeds more "potent"

Than truths liberating... edifying...

Bizarre!

That love is suffocated by selfish toxin

Self-interest in a barren region and exile

And Your Sacred Name attacked

With lips defiant and hostile!

Renouncing You...

By pride - adoration suicidal of self

Breeding anger crushing, envy raging

And costly vain-glory;

The tyrannical robber of salt of the earth...

Of favors and gifts divine...

(Skating on thin ice...

Can swiftness be indeed

A safeguard from forthcoming demise?!)

Without you...

Earthlings are but sin and nil, catching sight

Of it is to climb the mount of might...

Triumphing over venomous, harsh pride.

Oh! the changing and swiftly dying

Not worthy of winning nor acquiring

Or bewitching intelligent thought

Cannot worship God for it is naught.

Forsaken by God...

Accursed slough!

The Ancient Serpent's repugnant

Nauseating blot.
