Amadeus
When will you admit defeat.
How many
have you beguiled with
words of
honey flowing through
lips deceiving.
He has said
the child
may choose
how it confronts its demons.
Oh, Amadeus,
where are you,
Captain of the Legions of Satan?
Show yourself to me.
Come under my scrutiny.
Can I fight you
for the souls of my dear departed
in your grasp?
I weep
but can not help.
Show yourself Satan
and have me at your mercy.
I am covered
in the love of he who cast you out.
I am washed
in the fountain of waters of forgiveness.
You can never take my choice from me.
You will never understand
the precept of free will.
Without it my faith would be nothing.
I know that I need not be perfect,
but He expects my best.
His commandments are hard
but I am willing and earnest.
The law can not be altered.
From a path of despair,
compassion lifted God to holiness.
Eternity swells with pride as I strive up the
ladder toward light.
But neither God nor your master makes me
take even one step up or one step down.
If this were not so where would
be the greatness
in my action
at the completion of my journey.
I have lived the life.
He has asked me in
and I have come home.
