A faction now arising from duress,
the neighboring of consequence, the stress
does use my chastised virtue for its test,
the evil corresponding to incest!

That carnal mind, its hazing for conquest
does grab its effort's minding from its sex
and spiritual unwinding ~ faith so blest
is broken to confining God's inquest!

Identifies creation with recess
and Oneness with the Father begs redress
while virtue in its numbness seeks impress,
personifies indifference to aggress!

Oh, of this whirling entity confess
my weakness in His calling to access,
surrounded by fool's pillage so abreast,
I nurture my own failings, fearing lest!

And of one bonding, His could so address
soul's crying for redemption, this excess
of man's diluting priming of his nest
to wile away truth's toiling, its invest  ~

does steal eternal Holies . . . by suggest!
