constantly confessing sins
never knowing forgiveness
like a man with a book
but unable to read
or a fool hoarding gold
and dying from hunger
enslaved to the pride of life
the measure of men
of winning and success
compelled to boast
the works of one's arms
flaunting wit, or foolishness
but oblivious to the exposure
of their nakedness and vulgarity
of pain and confusion
of faith in their strength and wit
of the Mark of Man
on their arms and foreheads
believing by strength of will
what is given and not by works
the soul betraying the flesh
in double mindedness and hypocrisy
seduced by free will
but enslaved to another's will
but the further apart,
the more fervent
to execute the command
to impose commands
on their neighbours
when the only command is love
by the measure they measure
they are measured
for they have become
the enemy they condemned
and judgement is just
for evil judges evil
