Weighty words of trusted bible notwithstanding, <br />the objects in some eyes cannot be seen <br />by bold observers peeking, beyond closed lids <br />nor from the inside of those bible-bashing friends. <br />Yet they are present and fulfil a noble purpose, <br />fully respected by a man's seedy companions, <br />it makes a mockery of all the earnest words, <br />as fear of God can punish not all moneychangers, <br />and pleasant words will never soothe our wounds. <br />And only the reflection has diminished.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/objects-2/
