Gabriel's Horn

A captive of your ontology,

a tiger in a cage

Doomed to look with borrowed eyes,

your life played out on stage

You pace the floor incessant,

as anger builds within

And hear the distance calling,

feeling trapped, an alien

Will that trumpet ever reach you,

by whose Archangel you’re reborn

Will redemption come to free you,

—if Saint Gabriel blows his horn

Truth Or Lie

Must God stay beyond our

understanding

His prophecy to conscript

and confuse

Are the Trinity and

Resurrection

Both miracles or only

a ruse

Do we build temples to

our edification

Storing Icons that judge

and decry

Is the Bible fictitious

or sacred

Is Redemption the truth

or a lie
