I Vow To Promote The Truth Poem by John Sensele

I Vow To Promote The Truth



I vow neither to cry nor frown
Because frowns, tantrums and grumbles
Far from improving my life steal the crown
I earn by extricating myself from brambles.

I vow neither to hate nor lie
Because fibs, fabrications and concoctions
Far from lighting up my life they let it die
Amidst a plethora of dysfunctions.

I vow to both like and love
Because positive emotions lengthen my life
In every aspect and raise me above
Cabals that plot and nourish strife.

I vow to worship
More regularly to praise my Creator
In whom lies our eternal kingship
For Jesus is our supreme mediator.

I vow to delete records of wrongs
Heaped on me by backsliders
Whose strength lies in toxic tongues
That Lucifer uses as gliders.

I vow neither to mourn nor to groan
When creepy clouds on my horizon descend
Splashing gloom and doom on my lush lawn
Until I prove on my God I always depend.

I vow to pluck out my eyes
If they should stray in erogenous zones
Which feed naïve nerds on poisoned pies
Baked in banks that won't dispense any loans.

I vow to become honest
Because no value beats the truth
Which from heaps of lies emerges best
To embarrass the unwise and the uncouth.
