BE TRUE AND HOLDFAST

Speak in boldness in defiance,
To silence the gawkers.
Holdfast to that which is true,
Let go of that which is false.

Watch over the paths we take,
Make sure the destination is truth.
Let the winds lead us to destiny,
Bring the lamp with you.

Chase darkness away,
Allow the light its dominion.
Keep contempt far from me,banish it.
Permit the peace its place

Feel the dithyramb, hear my stand.
Face the assault with a humbled bow.
Show the bruises of the heart,
The soul begs for release.

The words are written sans meter,
Nor do they employ rhyme.
Prosaic verse,
Softens the hardened heart.

Immense melancholy tears at the flesh.
Pulling it apart layer by layer.
It is mans doing bit by bit
Not God's fault he is above it all

Walk the line be good to your fellow?
Bah! they are bush league amateurs.
They strut in their finery.
Bad taste, tasting bad

This life this planet tis bot for me,
Let me return to the peace of the void.
I have done many things along the way,
Gone to college, had a double major.

This life, this planet is not for me.
Let me return to the empty void.
Give this dismal world its just desserts.
Let me return home, give me a rope
