What, dearest me, is it about aught \"twisty\" erm, for lack of a better word: stuff, that we like cats cannot avoid entangling ourselves therein, to our ultimate detriment? Rarer know than most whom Jesus is, and apparently therefore, what or whom love is, is that? And thus the philosopher unrolls another tapestry for our indulgence, feigning, like a certain individual in Genesis 3, we\'ll be enlightened if only we partake. Where the KJV renders it \"...He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.\" (Ecc 3:11b) all the rest render it that \"...He put eternity in their hearts--\" and fewer know than not how tis all perverted. Pardon me, please.
Beautifully rendered with exceptional imagery and a tantalizing poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, what a mystery it is to know how it continues. Although something inside me tells me I know what it\'s about; you remind me of tales of pagan rituals from my homeland where healing and prayer were taught, where you could fall into trances of terrifying visions of aliens and many illusions of the worst human fears. All in order to reach the master\'s final enlightenment, understanding that it was all an illusion of their minds. I\'ve enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. Greetings.

Methinks I\'ve figured out why there\'s such an instinctive familiarity to your lines...like Garrison Keillor, you\'re from the inside, whence you know best how to crucify. And like Keillor, you can laugh loudest at the foibles therein. Excellently rendered with well-nigh exquisite imagery, a haunting poignancy, and a devilish bent. Thank you for sharing.

I read it thrice. Every time the line \"Every wilderness is a wonder to behold.\" leaped up and said \"realise me\". A wonderful work 🙏

Fear of the truth has a long history in man in general and in each individual. A lovely write that has deep philosophical, religious and psychological implications. Very nice Tristan

Hello, Tristan,
Pulpit pounders pounding righteousness whilst abusing alter boys, orphans in their care and condemning single mothers to the fires of hell. When exposed; punished with a slap on the hand and a transfer by the Holy See. A sad history of, Ireland. Your poem got me all fired up, in how you have expressed it with gusto, hardness and down right anger. Very well done, my friend.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

Good write T. Does our Popeye chat come under \'nasty, naughty, nebulous gossipers\'? lol. I won\'t give any examples here. Oops!
\'Naughty\' has some old-fashioned meanings. There are \'naughty figs\' in the Old Testament. Why? What have they done?! lol.

Sometimes the loudest voices in faith are the ones furthest from grace. True righteousness isn’t found in gossip or judgment; it’s in quiet integrity, in choosing compassion over spectacle. Let them chase their fix; we’ll hold onto what’s real. Faith, at its core, is less about performance and more about perseverance. Superb poetic effusion 🙏🏻🕊️

I understand the anger… I’ve had wrong doers turn to scripture as a cure… but it is only pages on words if you cannot embody the principles.. sigh

I find the first verse doesn\'t always need to happen. Though without capturing we are prone to forget, good memories will reach us someday, even when long forgotten.

Music and poetry are so closely intertwined, beautifully done. I find it that others were afraid to love us because the broken are frowned upon.

Cheeky Missy said:
Wherefore shall we burn these seven lines, eh? I must heartily disagree with the assertion that prophets\' \"righteous\" anger drives them, for what about, \"be ye angry and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil,--\" or, \"let every man be swift to hear, slow speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God....\" (Eph 4:26-27; James 1:19-20). I dunno. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and heart, not to mention a haunting poignancy. Thank you so very, very much for sharing.

Hello, Tristan,
How the great orators can become so blinkered by their own words that they end up spitting vile as they fall from grace in to the vat of acid of their own making. Excellent stuff, truly. Welcome back to the fold, you were greatly missed.
Wishing you all the very best,
Tony.

I\'m not familiar with the acrostic, so I googled. I think that in the first 4 lines the prophet wisely presents the problem in our society, and in the last 3 defines the answer in \"righteous anger\". Not sure if I interpret correctly, but an incredible message about the state of our society. Kudos!
