Profitless Fortification Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

1
Dispel the darkness frightful
in the prideful, hardened mind
feigning greedily to be kind...
who in the secret, inmost soul
runs as a clueless, aimless mole.

2
Dispel the darkness tenacious
the fulsome bag of tricks mendacious
the itch to treat brethren as a target
to be meanly, voraciously used,
mistreated or for self-interest abused...

3
Dispel the dark burdensome
the cranium that's not fearsome
of its cockiness and blindness
hard-hat, stubborn as a mule
unknowing of dress code of a fool...

4
Dispel the heart dimness
engrossed in self-seeking grimness
taking life from self... a feeble elf...
with buried heart in self, laid to rest love...
entombed... by self-created gloom...

Oh, The Omnipotent One,
drive out all self-deceptive doom.
