Mortal - the ungrateful wretch, <br />Taking all things as one's due <br />Inflated with incurable pride <br />Fell-ingrate - unaware <br />That oblivion is a deadly crime... <br />Frightful knave - unknowing <br />Of the treasure of docile ape <br />(Of the treasure of docility <br />And fitting teachability...) <br />Crocked with the pursuit <br />Of lechery and pleasure <br />With infected mind and defiled hands <br />Enslaver of darkness <br />Embracer of vice <br />Against the disarming <br />And soothing Light, <br />Unguided by the deathless wealth <br />Of meekness and innocence, stays unlearnt, <br />A stranger to the vastness of debt <br />And unbounded fire of the Cross, <br />Deaf to fidelity and care <br />Lavishly given from the abode <br />Of the Author of love...<br /><br />Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D.
