Obeisant behavior to grease the indwelling
Threatening Lake of Fire means on-the-hush rebelling
Hearing faithful richly rewarded keeps this book best-selling
Ensuing blessings bring retirement once humility’s excelling
Relinquish pleasure’s pursuit but for some wine & dine
Stay one-step ahead of the “I never knew you” line
Escape trampling underfoot by pocketing drops of brine
Edge of sensuality then back to grafted to the vine
Distracted by the view I built my dream house on sand
Fruits of the Spirit slip through sloth’s slack hand?
Each day’s worthless pursuits leave tomorrow to make a stand
Lost at seaworld, tossed by windfalls - the double-minded man
Lack confidence that my soul is cleansed of shame’s silt
Arrest my wicked tongue then worth precious blood spilt?
Must go prove thoughts & attitudes have been rebuilt
Only then to go and drown in a sprinkle of guilt
Neck-deep in assignments from a demanding prof
Gotta glut my baskets & kneading troughs
Turn and hide when all laid bare to the omni-shroff
Heart aches for sacred pen that crosses wrong motives off
Oath still has a pulse, it’s church attendance I must concede
Reeling from job commitments that keep popping up like weeds
Narrow path blocked by thorns – it’s either halt or bleed
Self-encourage, mirror confess, don’t need brothers to succeed
