Shell

Ingredients for domain, the rich
are so devised with will
to supplement consignment, while
my needs are standing still!

The poor, then, modeled in consign
are emptied of resigns excel,
does money buy the Faith at hand
or send it to it's hell!

I ask the Lord, His mightiness
how mitigating swell observe
does patronize the legal shelf
while justice panders spell!

Break then my bondage to life's trite
some greatness I must knell,
and forage not some ill intent
without this mercy's shell's
