Under the shroud of blind obedience,
the Church forever hides
Its loyalty to the Pope and Rome,
it chides and chides and chides
Canon Law and its corrupted faith
walk proudly side by side….
“Where a child of eight
in parochial school
was brainwashed deep inside”
But guilt then crumbled, damnation cursed
by heavens light deposed
The truth and God now one again
—the demon lie exposed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2013)
The Instant
A few seconds of eternity
two more than you’ll need
One moment of profundity
fog gone—vision freed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)
To Bless And To Guide
Your brightness, your smile
changed my life
As your spirit
recharged my heart
With the strength of
your father and mothers’ love
Only great things
your life will impart
Listen to that voice
above all others
The one that calls
from inside
And marry your will
unto your heart
All heaven to bless
—and to guide
(Lansdale Pennsylvania: April, 2013)
To My Granddaughter Parker On Her Christening
Hiding From The Light
Teasing us with its cover,
darkness dances with itself
Deep within the shadows
of its blind self-indulgence
Prophecies unwritten
die in murky condemnation
Giving birth to another lie
—hiding from the light
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)
