Incredulous I. <br />Neither one appears to fear <br />yet so certain God is near <br />times trodden trail to make and mend <br />for that's the way all 's done my friend. <br />Barbaric still; now to what end? <br />Better banishment by far <br />cloistered then those souls disarmed <br />will abide in harmony. <br /> <br />November 2006<br /><br />Gillian.E.
