Reason A. Poteet Poet Verse

Refuge

alliterisen

Righteous refuge, our Father's planned pledge, 
"Hope has endless safe sanctuary in Me."
Heaven's hope, eternal Eden.
Perdition's plot is the devil's delight;
Satan sets no strict standards.
Many mad, pompous pooh-bahs may find
vanity vaunts a venal vista.
