God will not sidle alongside an idol
Or will He sidle with the idle
God will not hang with the tongue harangue
Or listen to this world's slang
God will not accept a wrong Weltanschauung
God will suffer long, His judgements He won't prolong
God became a Child for those beguiled
God became The Tamer of those gone wild
God accepts no treason, only proper reason
God is the Reason for reason
God is The Word, there's no atheist's redaction
(Remember that you can't burn an abstraction)
God will oust any verbal joust
God has defeated Faust
God gives us a right to defend
The right that bare arms extend
Love to God Who is Your Neighbor
By extending love to your earthly neighbor
God is our Bower
God to the Third Power
God The Trinitarian Tower
Amen
Pathos is my validity; for I hear my guides
and I feel them. I follow them, they make up
my Weltanschauung.
Ethos has nothing to do with me;
I have no interest in captivating or compelling
followers or admirers.
Eros was once my go-to place; I have outgrown
her bows and arrows; replacing her with
faith and peace.
An avid ideologist, I have never been interested
in logos of any kind; not once up a time,
not in this lifetime or any other.
Kairos has my full attention for I fall into every
situation that has ever made a difference in my life.
Sometimes being pushed in actually, kicking and screaming.
Philosophy? I do not have any; just a conviction that
entities are speaking to me, and I am grateful to have
the heart and soul to hear.

An inheritance
makes my life easy to live.
Headaches? heartaches? no hindrance
no hedge, I have money.
I long to know logic in life.
A door falls open
Entering I find the best
of friends, food, festivity...
lasting until midnight.
alarms alert me to wake up.
A second door, closed,
boasts the note, "key is within".
noticing no knob, I sense -
there is no keyhole here?
and muse upon this mystery.
The third door is home
where I rest without relief.
Wealth, words, Weltanschauung
keep up their steady pace
provoking my peace with purpose.
Determined to know
the key to that second door,
I crave, I coax, I call on
experts within my realm.
My money soon meets its Master.
Beating on that door
wrestling with my God.
Erelong hidden latch loosens
missing pieces float free
golden keys to liberty.
Author’s Notes:
Weltanschauung
[velt-ahn-shou-oo-ng] noun German.
a comprehensive conception or image of the universe and of humanity's
relation to it, a world view.
It is unbeliveable how many pericopes
people do not know.
In your mind there is a reservoir of knowlege untapped.
Its not like this stuff is mystical or anything!!
When you reach the quadrivial of what you know.
You may find that its not worth
much more than a ligure.
When finding your weltanschauung
You may be fastidious at times,
But in your cockaigne
jubulince will reign supreme.
All anyone ever needs is self-identification.
Or a dictionary.
