ALLEGORY


Interesting observation
About my style of prose
I write
As I once drank
Addicted
Two fisted
Hard core
Without restraint
No need for cutters
To dilute the desired effect
Fiercely defensive
Of my subject
Passionate devotion
Exercising my habit daily
My words shout
For those hard of hearing
Like me
Some recoil
In horror of my obsession
Reaction none the less
As they flee
The impact still hits the mark
My message today
Sole focus on the truth
Saving grace of Jesus Christ
Author of my storied gift
In sober gratitude
I praise His holy name
Giving all of me
To His sacred cause


“But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.”

Psalm 5:11
