Truth Or Lie
Must God stay beyond our
understanding
His prophecy to conscript
and confuse
Are the Trinity and
Resurrection
Both miracles or only
a ruse
Do we build temples to
our edification
Storing Icons that judge
and decry
Is the Bible fictitious
or sacred
Is Redemption the truth
or a lie
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
