Truth's Devotee Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

Uninterested
in fluctuations of civic opinions
Despise
inverted order of priorities!
Annoyed
by voluminous (ominous!) stupidities
Distrust
human head and rule by the masses!
Sick
of the sickness of unjustifiable passes...
Mistrust
the view that majority opinion rules
What if majority
are mostly fools?
Opinions
can never assume equal weight!
Calling for
corrective, illuminating power of faith...

An intrinsically heinous crime,
Cannot be made by majority opinion right!
Any divergence from Changeless Truth,
Ineluctably sows injury, anguish or fright.

What unlimited liberty of thought
Undisciplined flights of fancy have brought?

Alarmed
by figures married to deception,
crafting fake fans, to laud self,
brashly untreatable in egotistic demands,
tirelessly engaged in unrewarding plans.

(On fabricated, fictitious ground
what but less than nil,
privation and desolation are found) .

Habitual deception
(undignified, silly tease)
Uncovered with ease
By hawk-eyed perception,
Propping up delusional beliefs
Accepting as true what
They wish to believe,
Making use of any trick
And childish
Self-indulgent mischief.

Only distinctly unwise
Shy away from
Critical, farsighted eyes,
Resort to name calling
(Juvenile-like falling)
Adolescently fixated
Lodging in irrational anger -
unmitigated.

What a waste of time!
Self-abuse is a crime,
Turned into lunacy
Self-imposed inadequacy.

Must steadily guard
what's Thine
shield what's
providentially
meant to be
for blissful perpetuity
of others' and mine...

The Father of Lights - The Only Reconciler
Mount on earth Thy fail-safe reign
For Thy children remain dreadfully stained,
who disdain Thy remedial Truth -
hopelessly take a fancy to delude, deceive
and impenitently feign... and feign and feign...
