Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D. Poems

Mortal - the ungrateful wretch,
Taking all things as one's due
Inflated with incurable pride
Fell-ingrate - unaware
...

Knitting fabric
In repulsive colors
Sporting unduly grin
In high held chin!
...

1
Dispel the darkness frightful
in the prideful, hardened mind
feigning greedily to be kind...
...

Looking down
what largely to descry
but an idolatrous eye -
image uninviting...
...

Some choose dying out and murder over being
Shun the goal of truth - Sacred dogma and relation
Between Creator and creation;
Trust more self than saintly rule,
...

Denial of You...
Can be as subtle as a gentle breeze
Covering pile of ungoverned cravings
Settling mind restless at bogus ease...
...

(For the unborn victims...)

sins of commission
sins of omission
...

failing to speak of You
'out of love only'
make the lips mute...
...

Would you lose
Life for me?
Step beyond
Barren region
...

'Veiled' in hypocrisy...
Deviating...
Sleazy blends
Propagate devious,
...
