Something cracked the shell

Frail heart's are weak minded bigots 
I felt this disturbance enter into the light 
this cold dark cloud burning below zero 
it sends the shivers coming from its shadow 
The broken record begins scratching a surface 
ingrowing putting the needle between words 
sewn deeply rooted the reflection appears mirrored 
frozen watching this crossover 
it all happens without conflict in the company of wolves 
Ripping to shreds rights and other human truths 
a journey begins in order for us to open our eyes 
to see we must start exercising to earn virtues of humility 
Without Grace at the helm souls will sink 
impurity has adopted so many bad habits 
it hates to stop
inappropriately it sits back and watches the seed of destruction flourish 
The Truth will rise from ashes of despair moulded
in the end we need to internally examine this shortfall 
and overcome our weaknesses making progress acceptable 
hence we can always live for a better future with God

A bounty of remarkable metaphor and imagery, Liam. *Truth will rise from the ashes of despair*, a formidable notion! Still, do feel that one might need desperation or despair to recover one's sense rational actions or thought? Keep well, Mikki

That last line says it all for me Liam. The real life is yet ahead ... Under God's kingdom through Christ
