true belief stands
juxtaposed
to rain that falls side ways
puppies that know how to smile at love
circles that can easily fit into square pegs
justice that comes cheap
misery that would rather be alone
and jars that open upon the first firm flick
of even the weakest wrist
honest ways that eat away at lies
with the wave of one factual match of truth
and spirit so lovely
it can make the ugliest face appear handsome
good wraps itself up in so many diverse packages
yet ill will can never long hide itself
for its ugly tentacles of miss deeds spill out
and dirty the lines of human connection
God gives all thus radar for just such purposes
though some just came faultily self wired................
