Of
Idols and Reality
Do Obelisks with inerrant accuracy
point our path to heaven?
What of graven liberty?
Do somber faces in frozen granite hold a key?
What of ancient words and signatories?
What solace can we find in these?
Are these the idols of our time?
Does Honor have a price
Is not law as strong or weak as its keepers
And
Can we cheat on our humanity,
Can we
Hold a baby’s breath in ransom?
How can we ascend to challenge
The true and only ONE
who is our judge and loving Father.
What fools we are
when we think wisdom a painted slut
And
honor a bright bejeweled ribbon.
