Plea of a Mormon Poet

I’m through with this grand-oval shaped abode,

where it’s center of gravity is filled with vanity.

methinks I shall absent myself from their evil propagandas and empty lullabies,

holding firm to my Ephraim’s stick and that of Judah.
Hey you over there-

keeper of the gates above,

shut not thine doors against I…

for all thine laws have I kept;

thine ordinances have I performed.

shut not thine doors of life against I thine faithful servant.

lest I be damned for all eternity.
