~ (~) ~ This Shameless Way ~ (~) ~
Because I know now through God hate drives all good things away. Grace moves to accept
them either way, love offers this with all its fortitude, generosity of spirit. Hope and fate
believe in this cry mercy remain willing, open in their welcome, for all to embrace them,
through faith.
Joy victorious proclaims this peace, "His love always sustains!" Time tick tock tick tock still all
hands together they weep for this, because they know trammeled lagging behind the devil's
hate forever remains.
Determinative manifest its genuine ignominy, and ignorance persist.
Grown up the weeds fixed in place dug in deep beneath sprouting-up-all-around-them-their-
heart-of-hearts I see them peregrinating along with me as I go on down my way as they go
higher and higher grown up along tall cold stone dusty walls quietly quelling everyone,
everything in their efforts even the innocent cry of the voice of liberty bellowing out around-
above-and within the walls for all the trammeled ones rightful claim to blamelessness.
Love aware hearing this storms-in-breaks through the ramparts overtly offers for all its'
clemency wishing yes wanting only for them to know this shameless way, granting them,
absolution.
