Robert A. Dufresne Poet Sonnet

Epiphany

We are apt to get discouraged to say the least,
Living in this poisoned, unjust worldly kingdom ,
But keep in mind, those of us who know,
Seeing the injustice is prayer’s answer for wisdom .

Christ said “One cannot serve two Masters”.
I’ve found doing so creates a major hassle,
It breaks one’s heart piece by piece,
A decision must be made. Which castle?

“My Kingdom is not of this world”
Finally. Thank God, I’m comprehending that.
For me, this is an epiphany,,
Heretofor I've been crashing, blind as a bat.

What do I do now Lord? Just where is your Kingdom please?
Ah yes! You said “ My kingdom is made of such as these.”
