Marcolorenzo Ruggenti Poet Rhyme

THE UNREDEEMED

These are the unredeemed
Unredeemed and unrelieved
In their souls in pain
Trapped in cycles without end
In many a violent place they spend
Unbearable time in mindless space insane

Sinning badly which no repentance 
Prayers have freed
Nor opened a crack 
In their selfish flow of greed
Darkness and humiliation cover
Every suffering creature over.

And in the black dusty dirt 
Of the cemetery’s earth
Of every stupid town and city
There is a raging spirit of death
Remaining smiling and mute
Without compassion or pity

Returning from this land of dead 
Dead again dead again
Where we found these lost
Empty sacks of human flesh
With hearts still beating but unfeeling
In the frozen bone white of winter’s frost

From an eternal winter of unknowing
The embers and fires of human love
In these valleys of earth
Are quenched by numbing
Social blizzards of hate
And civil indifference.

In desert sands their skeletal shells
Ambulate towards prepared graves
And faces of shifting suspicious stares
Pierce down unconscious of other’s cares
Falling raw into the rough trenches unsaved
Filled to overflowing with unredeemed blood

Surely these are the damned
Living in merciless mental swamps
With shoes soaked in dog excrement 
And streets strewn with cigarette butts
A land haunted by roaming demons
In obedience to masters of rage and ignorance.

And the rare and precious and glorious 
In the natural world of righteousness
Is left abandoned
Forever outside in a frozen wasteland
Of a world cursing God and His creation
And confirming forever a commitment to evil

Feeling “O how awful goodness is “	
Away, away out of this madness
Fly us back, back into the brilliance
Of the precious and the glorious 
Of the present Earthly Paradise 
Hidden from view but always His
