Innocent abode

A child hiding within a fold
A pregnant virgin
The beauty of life create
Image and likeness
Reality be told
A vision sustained
While dismissed

Experience awakening
Sin builds upon sin
Perversion
Unknowing
Individuality
Conscious and subconscious
Psychological demands come a calling
Moving away from the gifted

Faith
Hope
Charity

Experience building
Memory emerging
Adding up through the years
That which moves not forward moves in reverse
Recession
Enslavement
Beyond the scope of hope
Sentimentality resorting to moments
Emotion, memory submerging
Life bursting
Desire
Craving
Shadow boxing disgruntled demands
Drunk on more than wine
Psychological knots
Gordian in nature
Tighter and tighter
Unresolved
Ignorance wounding
Wanting completely in heart and mind
Hurting
Needing
The flesh strikes out
Instincts astray

Violence to the soul
An abomination of potentialities
In the presence of faith, hope, and charity
The existence of turmoil, despondency, and need amasses memory
Splendid bursts of emotional pleasure sweet tooth
Victory, merriment enticing demand leading away
The failings of earthly father and mother shout out into the world
Muddied in joyless streets nihilism blooms
Meaning multiplies misinformation
Identity cannot compute
Gifts of the spirit renounce unaware
Obsession, domination, possession usurp charity
Exaltation, celebration denounce joy
Comparing, contrasting competition conquer peace
Ambitious appetites angrily frustrate patience,
Imperfect neurosis overrule kindness,
Self-seeking, self-delusion, self-pity abandon goodness,
Selfishness cheats generosity,
Preoccupied miserable intent dominates gentleness,
Self-will, self-determination, wanting to teach, intellect blinds faithfulness,
Arrogant pride, deficient humility, curses modesty,
Addictive habits master self-control,
Ever increasing lustful demands bludgeon chastity

A collapse to Amends

Anarchy
