Magnanimous

Noble character—
With a greatness of spirit!
Never vindictive . . . 
	Generous and forgiving . . . 
High-minded and always just!

High minded but low brow,
and living the contradiction
of a greater truth
I’m caught between transcendence
and pontification
my pockets ladened 
with a traitor’s silver
—in search of gold

Listen you who think high minded
Who's placed yourself at the doors of God
Who speak for him wagging index fingers
Forcing yourself into chambers so Holy
Rejecting tolerance of men whom God loves
Issuing judgements on reverent behalf 
Might find oneself in dubious places
Just a warning friend to embrace humility

Idealism
versus
reality

In hope
that Quixote
prevails

Disappointed
again
reading the trends

Materiality
draining 
the grail

Peer pressure
determines
what happens

Not some
high minded
value or tome

Greediness trumps
what our virtue
holds dear

Self interest
hitting 
— closer to home

(Villanova University: January, 2024)

Balances of parallels
Cryptic speeches of silence
Tolerance talent forgiveness knots
Where are the trailblazers now but they cannot walk

Colors blended now and mixed
High-minded hatred apocalyptic
Hatred grows in mynute places
Where are those soothsayers not if they can't talk
~
Negative being (s)

Soulful man humble
My harden heart
Back to those beginning
Before the all, rise of sin nature
Catalyst so full of self
Ungrateful high minded fall of myself
O’ sore filled man misplaced
Father get me out of this place
From the sands now I stand on your solid rock

A soul filled man in Jesus Christ

Just  Pray For Me

It's all set aside
I am my genocide
No, I'm not suicide
Why do you cry
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't need your religious pity
Just pray for me
So pious, heady, high-minded
Your humanity can you find it
It's all set aside
I know my name I'm God's child
Though I was birth, in sin nature
Doesn't mean I have reside in it
Just pray for me

Discerning knowing 
ongoing boring
 destitute
 high-minded absolute
 confined it in resolve 
End bizarre I close my open eyes
 to see the inside
 of me as I am relieved 
of my spirit my soul surrenders and I fly like a dove
 toward the skies
 I'm enhanced
 I am no longer in a trance
 not Beyond belonging to myself 
I take on a second breath
 not I relinquish I passed the test
 I 
am
 solemn
