The Righteous

We look up, around;
privileged righteous stand upon
our backs, crushing us.

Their authority
is self-proclaimed or granted
artificially.

God’s authority
turns self-righteous lives into
ash, feeding fresh life.

Wisdom’s Burden

Wisdom’s cost? Heavy.
To gain wisdom means facing
its equal darkness

Wisdom and darkness:
Are separate but intertwined;
They know each other

In light’s wake, darkness
follows, slithering, plotting
’til the fruit ripens

The Second Life

Pierce Darkness Within

Stab with light and twist the blade

Don’t look back, walk on
