No taste of victory when lacking self-diminution - <br />Self-deflation invites soul-searching and contrition. <br />No armor of courage without harvest of self-sacrifice <br />No loyal devotion while lacking the gem of selfless devotion <br />Love's abandoned without oblation and dedication <br />Look at the Cross without Its Triumph all is a loss... <br /> <br />To conquer festering lies to save grandeur of lives <br />With gangrenous moral relapse, <br />Needed collectivity shall collapse <br />Self-satisfied fragility - foster nurse of society's <br />Crooked path and rascality; <br />Ill-thought-out liberation - <br />Many shades of values cultivation <br />Cannot bring forth humanity's unification. <br /> <br />Unchecked passion and urges, untaught hearts surges <br />Baseness and futility of ways and means father <br />Futility and baseness of events and ends... <br />Violence wears garments of lies, concealing crimes; <br />Participants in diseased deceits, <br />Expanding deep sea of gory misdeeds. <br /> <br />Penpushers! <br />In malicious and volatile world, on destruction brink, <br />Be brave! <br />Do not waste your ink!<br /><br />Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D.
