Kurt Philip Behm

University Dogma (+1)

Five thousand sermons,

one point of view

 

The message sole branded

—the damned in the pews

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

If Not Truth

 

What good is a poem,

if not to incent or inspire

 

Just flowering verbiage,

growing out of the mire

 

What comes from our verse,

if not truth yet released

 

Each word to enlighten

—in beacons of speech

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)
