The simply pious and the profoundly righteous: A poem

Posted bymontecyrilPosted inUncategorized

Those who are forthcoming but tight-lipped about their goodness

should not be the ones who find peace with the evangelist

For holiness comes not from proclaiming God

if you’ve lived your life riding the roughshod

And you cannot achieve sainthood by reciting prayers

Duty and integrity come good, not salvation’s soothsayers

When you learn, was not Jesus who died for all humanity

It is the phoenix within you, that will bridge your own estuary

For to know the difference between the simply pious and profoundly righteous

is the path of finding the truth through the painfully onerous

That God is not present within the confines of the church

he is within each one of us, if we only care to search.
