Hmm...indeed sometimes lies -- and the heart can lie even when thinking truth...even the marriage vow, till death do us part (the priest his own Christian contradiction). No one really knows the deeper nature of the heart. Does it start with a beat of flesh? Or its own spiritual continuance possessing form whatever? Time will less tell than Heaven and Hell.

I was seven and the Nun teacher said put your head down and
think about your sins to confess to the priest; so I did, but could
not think of a single one. Oh, I must have some I cried, so I lied.

As bad as it is, it is better for the growing awareness. Maybe from the awakening, the pen mightier than the sword, us priests of poetry, the rarefied hearts of humanity, can make a positive contribution.

In this age of Grace
(which doesn't mean we abrogate
but fulfill the law) we are to be:
A prophet by encouraging what God's Word says, and by warning of what God's Word says (Ezekiel 3:21)
we are to be a priest by ministering to others to serve others graciously
(2 Cor. 9:7)
and we are to be kings as we rule our lives according to godly living (1 Peter 2)
1 Peter 4:11c "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ"

Today has come, but tomorrow is the pregnant woman which cannot be prophesied by a priest.

Each of us has our own faith when it comes to writing poetry...love is our High Priest shared.

Freewill is not a free-pass to do harm. We must take care though, no matter how deeply felt our sense of values -- neither politicians nor priests should be dictators. No easy fix. By example, to live Christ...the only way.
