Double blind tests, a test testing
best premises, promises state
Of recipient’s fervor after
Ingesting a Real Host or rather
A placebo - placed to gather
What is sacred - tad sacrilege
In practice - the inward signs of grace
The internal dispositions.
For forty fixed days of testing,
A fatal flaw midst the tested,
Missed the freedom to correspond
With worthy, chaste, pure, and lovely hearts,
Just and holy, a clean conscience.
Of such, unknown but to just One.
Can confinement effect the free?
The monk’s cell, the inmate’s prison cage?
Both are bound but both are free,
These and those who receive worthily.
But some are bound and not at all free
This we are certain with certainty.
Yet among the proofs, the best, the saints:
With lives of sin and near misses,
New beginnings, they begin and begin
Again, their gain their sanctity.
