Short Brawns Poems

Thy curse and crown of thorns
Are the bones that back my brains and brawns

Is my resting place when my foes go red

The lord is my firm and faithful fort
This is my story and sincere song
Thy arms and alms have made me strong....

Cronyisms in control, corruption customized....

And my brains and brawns to insure

I crave for thee oh heights
Fathomless heights:
The abode of the twinkling stars,
The home that can’t behold scary scars....
