IT HAS BECOME SO HARD NOW TO DIFFERENTIATE
WHOM ARE THE SAINTS OR SINNERS
HOW DOES ONE SEPARATE
WHAT IS FACT FROM WHAT IS FICTION?
WHO WILL THERE BE TO PASS THE GATES
THE LUSTFUL CELIBATE
THE UNREPENTANT MISCREANT
PERHAPS, THE HAPLESS IDIOT?
BUT, WISDOM COMES FROM DOUBT
DOUBTS REVEAL THE QUESTIONS
THE JOURNEY OFFERS TRUTH
FROM THERE, BEGINS THE MENTION
HERE, NOW, WITHIN YOUR HOME
IN A ROOM WITHOUT A CHAIR
A SINGLE LIGHTBULB FLICKERS ON
THE DARKNESS ONLY STARES
THE SOUL WRESTLES FOR ITS FREEDOM
BUT YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU ARE ABLE
FOR THERE IS A CLAMOR IN THE CUPBOARDS
A BANGING AT THE FRONT DOOR
THE DOGS ARE SNAPPING AT THE GHOSTS
THAT HABITATE YOUR BACKYARD
BUT AWAKENED BY THE DARKNESS
YOU CHOSE ONCE TO IGNORE
AND SHAKEN BY THE GRAVEDY
THAT ENCOMPASSES
THE DISCOVERY OF YOUR PRISON
YOU DESCEND INTO THE LONG NIGHT
OF LONELY INDECISION
THEY SAY JESUS WAS A SPECIAL SON
WHO SHARED HIS LOVE WITH EVERYONE
WALKED BAREFOOT, UPON THE COBBLESTONES
THERE, HE BLED, ALMOST ALONE
THEY SELL YOU SELF-SACRIFICE
BUT TO WHO’S END, AND FOR WHAT PRICE?
FOR SACRED TRUTH AND GOD’S COMMANDS
OR THE MISCHIEF OF
THE FLAVIANS?
SO, THE FATE, TO WALK ACROSS
A DESERT YOU HAVE CHOSEN
ALONG PATHS THAT WERE NEVER BROKEN
TO FIND DOORS THAT WERE NEVER OPENED
AMID A DARKNESS THAT CAN’T BE SPOKEN
BUT, FROM THE DARKNESS
PIERCE THE DAWN
NOW, LIFTING LIKE A VEIL
THE SUN SHINES BEHIND THE CLOUDS
LET TRUTH AND LIGHT PREVAIL
LET TRUTH AND LIGHT PREVAIL
