Is God a deficiency in
our character or makeup
Do we fill in the vacuum with almighty
tales of beyond
Is the salvation we search for
there buried deep inside us
Do our sermons lay unwritten

My Indulgent Refrain
The better the words
formed
The meaner they
became
‘free and alive
and stirred from the bottom
\'hidden and denied
in moments of pain’
Taking on new life
they glare and they scowl
Staring back from the mirror
—my indulgent refrain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Millennial Academia
The tragedy within the new
school of ‘thought’ ….
To know ‘about’ everything
—while knowing naught
Where universities foster
professorial demise
Poisoning the young
—with their fantasy and lies
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
The Devil\'s Scar
Not reliant on your approval,
I soared to the heavens
Not seeking your acceptance,
I burned past the brightest star
Not wanting anything from you,
I gave myself back to the beginning
In need of nothing
—the devil’s scar
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)
Free And Clear
Withdrawing from the Rat Race,
my fortune reappeared
The fog now gone, all clouds pulled back
—direction free and clear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
