Why are You - You
Ask me a probing question - Why are you - you?
I write these words and lines to guide you through
the who, what, and how of my world view.
Offering my most genial reply,
the abc's here prove to specify
why, made in God's image, his path I ply.
Announcing Bold Convictions, I do
Declare Essential Faith unto you.
Gladly Herald, Introducing folks to
Jesus - King - Lord, His most precious name.
Maligned? Nullify, Openly Proclaim;
Questioned? Reasonably Speak Truth without shame.
Uttering Vocal Worship Xenial-ly, as
Yahweh’s Zephyr I speak with pizzazz.
*xenially is the Greek form of the English word, genially.
the form is my own, a reasonnet, 14 lines, monorhymed by stanza, w/o meter.
