Wonders and blunders, Kai. Yours is both! A drive through church set it up perfectly. Madness beyond compare, allit. fest. Each addiction but religion is deplorable in some way. Thanks for boldly de sacredising it a bit.

Wow... this is such a intriguing and profound example of this form... I definitely choose JESUS CHRIST above all in my life. He is my great love of life and I am blessed to have a personal relationship with him as I pray everyone discovers. Your poem is definitely a work of art... I pray it touches hearts and opens minds to the wonders of Christian love - Love to you dear friend
