L'Nass Shango Poet Free verse

Cathedral

If I were such a house
Built to magnify
The splendor of the world
If I were such a house
Built to dignify
The mortal pride of man
If I were such a house
Built to nullify
The spontaneous love
In man's heart
And leave them purpose driven
Like a kite
In a narrow hand
Jerking its string to heaven
If I were such a house
I could not be
Seat nor chair of mortal fools
And tongues of fire
Would raze my spire
To tell
The Holy Spirit's presence here.
