Rat Race
you and i at race
in this global cubicle
against time and rats!
Prodigal Son
back in father's arms
prodigal son wonders why
fence remains unmend!
Iron
Ire
steeled human instinct
stirs the raging bull in me
mad crowd applauding!
Water World
searching Bethlehem
amphibious beings warming
above cold kingdom!
Hollowed Quest
never ending quest
to see my Creator's face
i found tHis picture!
Paradise Lost
thornless rosebud
plucked by the snakeGod
in my garden of Eden!
