Ongoing Mental De-Evolution

 and drown in their self-delusions; 
 from persons into personifications
 lists of passions, glorify self's illusions; 
 down those lists,

Defining Truth Defies Das Democratic Thinker In the Age of Trump

bandied with beef,

courtesy of commander in chief

Announcement Prayerful and Frolicsomely Playful: Or, a Canticle I Think I'Ll Be

A canticle I think I'll be, 
A rimed thought, hoary and ancient, 
Stinking as the dust heaped up empyreal on the hills of 
The Judean sands;
And as dulled and dimmed as an archaic coin tarnish'd.

Athwart Without Surcease — Edzel

Erelong the sphere was contrived,
intrinsically safe with His arms.
Born— soon derived,
and molded from His heart so warm.

hight to be a no man in an island.

Can I part, my beloved, without grief?

But separation drives shaft deep that sears

Thus my heart wounded dying most too brief.


Remembrance steals its way in like a thief.

Lieg 

Herhaaldelik en gereeld soos net in 7de laan
Was geheimnisse en liegstories die haat wat uit jou gaan.

Oortuigend jou nie glo nie, soos water van my rug afspoel.
