Dark clouds on the horizon under the glaring Sun...
Omnipresent hope, many presume none...
Hunger heedless inhabits the mind of a ghost,
Unhearing of the Power Omnipotent of the Host...
Twister of the paralyzed:
Enthroning villains,
Uncrowning heroes,
Subjecting the unsuspecting to hostile exile...
Approvers of the impenitent,
Exciting truths, they claim, shall expire,
Foolishness empire, unwittingly they admire,
Wallow on the stage of mediocrity -
Runaway 'winners'! Goody-goody sinners!
Disremembering:
Silence luminous...
Noise ominous...
Repute formidable,
Weak side pardonable...
From nature the lessons of self-renunciation -
Paved by martyrs' blood... restoration...
A daisy unenvious, ungrudging of rose,
Slavery mindless, overlooking both daisy and rose.
Teasingly tantalizing
Grotesque vegetations of egocentricity;
Ignoring immortal glimpses of Christocentricity...
Christocentric longevity... egocentric brevity;
Ambushed by less than enriching edifice
In quandary amiss...
Undiscerning of the footprints of Light
From footfalls of night...
Judas-like... fright...
Do their hearts rest?
Or are they unfailingly failing The Test?
Substance... substance and more substance, and most captivating, fascinating and illuminating style! Love it all but especialy the lines 'daisy unenvious of rose... slavery mindless overlooking both daisy and rose'. Great title and absolutely excellent and powerful ending. God be with you! 10! ! !

Well, by golly! This one is another brain tickler with a 'TELL ALL' ending. You're enticing me to read on! You make us Texan Christians very optimistic and proud! Great writin', great readin' & above all some great learnin'!
Yikes! another STRIKE! If you were a bowler this would be a 300 game score! The last line should haunt us all... { Am I unfailingly failing the test? }...whoa, loads to think about now. Thanks again for another brain bender!
From the very first line to the last...shockingly powerful poetry! Mood and tone very strong throughout...another emotionally charged piece. Thanks!
'Undiscerning of the footprints of Light from footfalls of night... Judas-like fright' - this says it all Dr.! Great lines... 'grotesque vegetations of egocentricity'... 'runaway winners! goody-goody sinners! ' Brilliant ending! ! ! Dr. you did it again! Enjoyed the powerful messages and bold style! 10! ! !
Indeed, the greatest danger is when we enthrone villains and uncrown heroes! Unfortunately, this pattern seems to be the state of affairs in our modern living, seeing evil as good and seeing good as evil! Frightening thing! Another great poetic work enriched with great phrases full of insight as 'Christocentric longevity, ' 'Foolishness empire... they admire, ' 'undiscerning of the footprints of Light from footfalls of night' etc. This is what great poetry is made of... enduring and helpful insights and unique and unrepeatable expression! 10!
