Defiant Malcontents Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

The bowl, of my head, rings hollow, to fill in such words...iip

'Thirsty for hardy sobriety... hungry to feed... made one fed...' spiritually illuminating and nutritious! Your work is forceful, logical, and persuasive proceeding directly from the uplifting teaching of Christ or as you referred to Him as the Moral Teacher. Excellent piece of art! Thanks!

Dear Dr. Kardas, Indeed, our origin and destiny is God! We are children of God under the life-giving action of the Holy Spirit... 'the blazing Dove'. Thank you for another masterpiece! Your poetic genius always evolves! God bless... Renia & family.10+++++

A challenging message and illuminating material to read and ponder about. Superb ending, title, timeless insights and style of expression! 10!

Without God's Truth and order... 'what's left? but a victim of theft...' - simply brilliant! We become spiritually and intellectually sound when individually and collectively we conform to the reality of the divine truth and divine order. God's Truth keeps safe and protects the dignity of us all. Another superbly written poem! Doc you have a sturdy pen! 10! Max

Loved the surprisal and phraseological innovations, particularly in the last stanzas. Wisdom indeed begins with self-knowledge and our eager subordination to divine truth, which is supremely comforting, remedial and beneficial. Thank you for this great work! God bless...

Dr. Kardas, You are a rare and successful didact! Enjoyed the depth of the insight and the structure of the poem. It is amazing how in the confines of a poem you explain the various voices of our age and heedless, reckless human attitudes, evaluating them in the light of changeless - divine Truth... admonishing yet offering hope, and by a few wisely chosen ideas you promote divine Truth by means of great fascination with its liberating, healing, illuminating and consoling power. This is poetic and intellectual genius! 10! Thank you!
