Nescient... Complacent... Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

Knitting fabric
In repulsive colors
Sporting unduly grin
In high held chin!

Can mind know
Its idiotic whim?
Can one reason
When there is
Need of reason
For mind is stuck
In impenitent treason
Abandoning
The light of faith?

I'll say pray...

Staining canvas
With unsightly
Projection,
Logic underfed,
Yet pride fed -
In need of
Fit reflection
Calling upholders
Of divine truths
'Insane'
Uncivilized ignorant,
Anorexic brain...
In the main...

I'll say,
Never cease
To pray...

Concocting web
Of crafty,
Sly connections
Falsely deeming
Built empire
As divinely
Inspired
While in one
Puff from
The Mouth
Of Truth
Dire empire
Is consumed
By fire
Meeting
Its due demise...

Disremembering
His omnipresent Eyes? !
Deeming 'normal'
What is abomination
In God's Sight!

I'll say,
So abominably unwise...
Feeding brainlessly
On serpent's lies!

Allowing 'everything'
is - in truth -
holding in regard nothing!

(lib... lib... lib...
beset with perils fib!)

So, never
Cease to pray...
To rescue
Worried souls
From dismay...

And, never,
Ever cease to pray
To rescue
Souls who sadly are,
Serpent's prey...
