Battleground

The fettered fiend feigns fallaciousness.

The puzzled prince pleads peaceably.


To see the adversary in heaven’s light

Leaves untenable shadows in mercy’s might.


The True battle transcends our thought,

Though with timidity fraught.

It’s God’s knot;

Escaping our lot.


I pray the war around us

Is fought while love surrounds us.

In peace I pray it grounds us,

In hymns as angels sound us.

Staggering

Staggering, a yoke on his back. Waiting, waiting for death, then life. Thorns, blood, smeared vision. Anguish, of a thousand pounds, people Watching, jeering, jabbing. He       falls. A friend, the yoke lifted, momentarily. Clothes tattered, knees bleeding. Needed strength, fopr one more step. Humiliated, to a mere man, since birth. Thirty-two years, gone? No. Ages and peoples, fulfilled. Clothes gone, a skeleton left, The nail,     the scream piercing your ears     cold metal between bone and skin.     Twice more,     The scream across the land, twice more.     A mother looks at her Son.     The earth trembles, centuries are freed. Date:  probably junior in high school

(Sum) Sand

  One inane grain.  Insane. It does not give life. A particle of silica. Contra ipsum invicta. Empty weak and worthless. Deftly meek and mirthless. So dispensable indefensible. Incongruously inconsequential. Untermensch and moral stench Sleeping on a parkside bench. Goo-goo-ga-joob. A house built on sand Gets buried in shit-made land. 7/25/09
