befriending pharisee
.)denial(
confidence builds an empire of pride
where self exceeds and others subside
(as i stand)
tears of ashes fall and feather
singing a requiem of unfeigned thought
Time and Shame sit clamor
making Joy think it had forgot
in of reason, quiet tension
tried for treason, heart suspension
guilt it blossoms, sprout of trial
shape of love is in denial
push the weakened, doubt the liar
make the meager burn in fire
shut the doors to the poor man
stare the whores down in quicksand
make the orphaned beg and shiver
throw the dying in the river
cross the lame with hardened soles
nudge the blind out on a stroll
actions bring a prompting fire
crossing lines and a blaring choir
rush of hollowness hath make me
more uneasy, dry and shaky
hypocritical reminder
to be loving and much kinder
guilt it screams hardness to sleep
and awakened is softening
(as i fall)
humbleness bleeds with weakening feet
heart is transformed through Paraclete
)conviction(.
