My mind composes a structure but...

Gratitude for running water on tap... 
and heat flowing with a snap

After shaving and showering,
yours truly feels winsome
though morose seeing
unwanted adipose "love handles"

How “professed” Christians
Do the things they do
Say the things they say
Write the things they write
It’s not RIGHT!
True! We have to “walk the talk”
But perfection is not attainable
Holiness is misunderstood
There is no state of sinlessness

Holiness...

mankind is not made to be equal,
