Deed and Word

Love without reason,

 Song without rhyme,

 Kindness in season,

Patience in time,

All things considered,

Nothing forgotten,

Life will be seasoned,

Joyous or rotton,

Smell the roses,

Where you find them,

Take the least travelled trail,

Live to the fullest

And you will not fail,

Each one of us is perfect,

In our own special way,

If that's something you don't get,

For you shall I pray,

Trials, temptations,

Sin and disgrace,

Every sensation,

Is seen in your face,

Perhaps you can hide,

How you're feeling inside,

 I know I tried,

And to myself lied,

All have come short,

Of the measure for grace,

And are invited to the same place,

Only one thing,

Can set any apart,

Salvation's NAME,

In the book of life,

And upon the heart,

By their fruits shall ye know
Both deed and  word,

They shall show,

You believe what you heard,

The spirit inside

Is both saviour and guide,

Comfort confidence,

But never pride,

If to such a one

One day you are led,

And choose to ignore it instead

You won't know the difference,

Til after you're dead,

The chaff is discarded,

The kernel remains,

Wheat to flour on the grindstone,

Chaff to the flames.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
