Island God

ISLAND god

By allowing us to suffer
                                      Pain
                                          Consequences 
                                                           Reality

Bearing down on humble ground
We find our way
To heaven’s gate

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Given perfection, no reflection, no genuflection
We become gods with dire direction

A smoke-filled room
No chance of escape
The ultimate place
For the island god
