Choose One's Ground Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

hell-born ideas cruising around
invasion of degrading softness
laziness, craziness of cognizing
wild, seditious babbling abound

numskulls of damnable destruction
devoid of spark of golden innocence
hard-hearted - not convicted - criminals
drenched thoroughly in innocent blood

souls lifeless persisting in coffins of enmity
un-liberated for woeful repulsion to Light
unreal for dismissing to Truth any affinity
displeasing to Deus by undying infidelity

creatures vain chained to progressive depravity
lacking real voice and overflowing fruit of revelation
bloodless beings laboring for the arch-tempter
smoothly falling into tyrannous temptation

limbs of Satan lingering in unquenched megalomania
insensible of benefits, at war with servility and self-abnegation
children of night, swamped in fabled superiority
maddened in lawless fatuity, oblivious to diseased desolation

self-absorption at odds with self-accusing tendency
wrecked on the land of wicked sterility and vacancy
hardened deceivers, revolters, obstinate despoilers
irritating, infuriating, aggravating destroyers

corrupters of lambs and doves, violent foes to themselves
uncultivated in virtue where the saintly speedily delves
aggravating spoilers plunged in dead works, bleak fancy
can stir up only abyssal sorrow and aggravated clemency...
