Anyone feeling me?
Anyone really healing from these?
Or do I speak these lame
lines from my veins in vain
as vanity changes
the range of my fame.
I invite you to come play in my brain,
then complain when you leave the same.
Maybe if I mine my mind
I’ll find it’s not as fine as I’ve defined.
Maybe my rhymes
should be refined
to decline the malign
and remind of the kind in mankind.
But even the blind
can see the signs
that walking by sight
brought us strife.
So I prye at pride
so we can join the pride
of Judah’s lion.
But I’m chewed up
as Judas
when I choose ta
challenge something you thought you knew.
Is that why liberals
say I’m too conservative for the future of people
Or why conservatives
conserve convergence
with my emergence
that merges
with the tendencies
of their enemies?
Cause I tend to see
you can’t condemn these “G’s”
that hallow holy hollow tips holding halos
while also commending deafening defiance
to those who hosed
them into these holes.
But to show
accord with views that oppose
only grows enmity with both those.
So I suppose
I penned this penance
on pendants pending
social relevance
and heavenly precedence
with independence from dependence
on the penchant for pensions.
My mentions receive tension
when I reminisce on the remnant
saved outside church attendance.
Yet I remain an attendant
to the attention
that it’s on account of Christ that our repentance
is returned with heaven.
Don’t lessen the level of my lessons
cause my unpleasant beckon
to question everything your presented.
For the union of Jerusalem and Athens
is my anthem
to fasten our words to actions.
And patching our passion
with the fashion of captions
can’t cover the problem captured in our atoms.
So our dichotomy
is we die coddling
our sophistry
or start modeling
modesty.
Cause the modest see
it takes different modes
of thinking
to mold a code
to hold the hot and cold.
For this globe will fold
if we don’t find thinkers
to think across goals of foes.
