Idolater Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.
Idolater
Blind adorer of false gods
Reckless idol-maker
Money maker
Power or fame
Grabby taker
Habitual faker:
Capturer, asset-stripper
Calculating captor,
And manipulating actor.
Captive for being vainly active;
Trapped in vicious disorder
Marginalizing the One and Only God
Sinking deeper into
Uncontrollable religious deviation -
A member of irreligious civilization.
Captive in moral lack of order -
Enabler of society's nasty disorder;
A punisher, executing a sentence on oneself
Inflicter of one's own pointless pain,
For the sin of impiety
And idolatry insobriety,
One is ill-fated relinguisher of hope -
In desperate need for favors
Of the One and Only Worshipful God.
I would add that you are not only gifted satirist but also a master of educational provocation! Thank you for stirring my mind and soul! 10!
A brilliant master of satire! Meaningful, witty, pithy and zesty! First this verse made me think and then it brought about a hearty burst of laughter! Thanks! 10! ! !
Couldn't agree with you more! We're very tired of the 'grabby takes', money and power hungry 'habitual fakers' who are demoralizing our society. A very good analysis Dr. Kardas...wish more people would step back and take a good, long look at their OWN ugliness (called sin) . Really stirred up a lot of emotions reading your new editions. God Bless...Jen
a fast moving action packed poem with very good rhymes......10
