The Moment Self Taught (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Those times I was distant,

those times spent alone

 

Those times I spent searching,

so far from the throne

 

Those times when I questioned,

the questions I asked

 

Those times never answered,

those times that contrast

 

Those times that were gifted,

those times that were not

 

Those times that were frozen,

those times that were hot

 

Those times I spent chasing,

myself being sought

 

Those times an illusion,

—the moment self taught

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

 

 

Perversion

 

Because of perversion,

the straightest path bends

 

Because of perversion,

confusion befriends

 

Because of perversion,

all smiles a frown

 

Because of perversion,

up is now down

 

Because of perversion,

the truth is a lie

 

Because of perversion,

a pig seeks to fly

 

Because of perversion,

all evil portends

 

Because of perversion,

—this world will soon end

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
