There’s no bigger threat
than what’s still left to know
Its backbone religion,
as it sits on its throne
What cannot be stated
and proven as fact
Evangelists kidnap
and wear on their backs
With prophecy wrapped
in their folly misled
What’s still undiscovered,
leaves dogma undead
But then when the darkness
moves into light
Revivalists shout,
claiming: “See, we were right”
Leaving two kinds of liars
in this world to be shown
Those twisting the truth
—and those defiling the unknown
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
The Cosmos Expands
You can forever buy in,
without hanging on
The moment anointed,
to reign till it’s gone
There’s a time to hold tight,
and a time to let go
Veracity final,
in what it now shows
When that comes in question,
the cosmos expands
New truth taking over
—and at our command
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)
Twin Pillars
Too good for himself,
and the place he was in
His lover reminded,
before leaving in sin
Her path was left open,
her exit his gate
To stay or to leave
—twin pillars of fate
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)

Kurt,
Your writes DO stimulate the reader’s thinking! 🤔
Ah yes...
the ‘twin pillars of fate’
‘Her path was left open’...
‘To stay or to leave’...
The decision is hers...
~Laura~
