Divinity's Pew

Divinity’s Pew The truth stands in contrast to only itself Once mentioned eternal when thought and then felt It lives in the ether past fortune or fame Conscripted by conscience no praise and no blame The truth beyond reason beyond lies or consent The lucky among us to follow its scent Its trail leads to faith divinity’s pew Transforming the moment — you first say I do (Rosemont College: February, 2024) Freezing The Moment Are you the lead actor within your own myth The script ever changing the past in its crypt Can you freeze the moment with only one word The Angel’s applauding — the devil unheard (Rosemont College: February, 2024) Salt Lick Politicians endow a sword to the few — to command the many (Rosemont College: February, 2024) Modern Education Learning more about less and less Feeling torn in great duress Faith attacked we hide from myths Real love scorned — ourselves we kiss (Rosemont College: February, 2024) Marx In Hell Political salvation the god of failure Beatifying the collective — on the devil’s throne (Rosemont College: February, 2024) Gnostic Dreams The brighter the glare we discover around us The darker the light stays hidden within Secular salvation a digital failure God’s imminent nature — indistinguishable from ours (Rosemont College: February, 2024) ‘Sage To The Court Jester …’ God’s truth — Man’s truth bridging the difference trust in the Muse (Rosemont College: February, 2024)
