Raul Moreno Poet Free verse

Live Minus the ‘v'

Kingdom of flesh,
Sanctuary of ribs.
Reigning in darkness,
Worshiping the eternal night.
The devil says he’ll let me live,
But to me that’s just a lie.

I choose the
Kingdom of heaven,
Sanctuary of truth.
Reigning in brightness,
Worshiping the eternal light.
God says in me, he lives,
And that is not a lie.
