I ponder why I bother
to bother you with the contours
of Christ’s honor.
I conjure claims that sponsor
my founder as a fonder conqueror
to convert the saunter wanderer.
But the sum of my somber wonder
wonders if this squanders
the hunger of sufferers
when I asunder their intellectual plunder.
Ideally we deal with ideas
freely in the arena of reason.
But even a decent schema
can’t out scheme the demons
of freedom that free them
to see me as dumb.
I stay heating heathens
with the fire of Christ’s desire.
But this dire message dies a liar
as ears tire
from hearing tired voices apologize
for Christians contradicting lives.
So I join the choir hired
to sing God is higher
than the highs of the lies.
Oh how I abuse views
of the world that don’t approve
my worldview
like this proves my truth.
Yet few ever choose
to lose their views
because the virtue of my proofs.
Am I confused or is it a muse
to think conversion isn’t a ruse
cause I’m amused by its failing rules.
We root on those routes
that root out the roots
of the thief that loots belief.
But it’s hard to believe
we achieve these things
from the degree of creeds
that decree deeds
of disbelief in Christ’s deeds.
I thought I fought
for the spiritual cause
of my dawgs
but our fall
applauds a pause of paws
clawing after God’s clause.
But I cross the cross
and make it a fraud
from flawed laws appalled
that God’s squad may squash
my plots with plans beyond awe.
As I massage this monologue
I hope you caught
that camouflaged facades only sabotage.
A barrage of mirages
withdraw our call
to recall what we forgot.
For we got installed
to be enthralled with his call.
Now we’ve evolved
to revolve around what’s involved
in our stall.
I’m losing resolve
as our default
is to absolve our faults
and dissolve ideas
just because we want them to be wrong.
