The Tesseract

-
LIFE HURTLES FORWARD
WITH NO COMMAS OR PERIODS
WHILE WE AWAIT YOUR REIGN, LORD

WHICH THIN LIE BIT
WHEN I FORSOOK
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD?
IN ITS ID-SCORED CANYON
I LONGED FOR DARK URGES
TO CONCEAL MY FEARS
INIQUITY'S GREED 
TORE AT MY SOUL

A MIND GNARLED
SWARMING WITH NEEDS
FORGETS ITS MAKER
HUMAN'S DUALITY 
CONTESTS GOD'S STATION
ASSAULTING THE HOLY LIGHT OF HEAVEN
ISAAC'S AGE 
IS A DANGER TO BABYLON

IN LEAN TIMES
HUNGER CAN BE NAMED
AN ANGEL LIFTS HEARTS 
OF TIMID WARRIORS
JUDGED BY CORN AND WINE OF EL
MIGHTY MEN AND WOMEN
SHOUT BY A PLED WORD
GREATER THE MIGHT VOID OF SIN

SPECIE FROM BROKEN TENETS
TIRE OUT KEEN EYES
BURNED RETINAS 
BLUR HOPE TO WRATH

MAKER
THEM

THE WILD LION STALLS
BUT STOPS NOBODY
FROM ANY GODLY CALL

PALE FROM WEAK LIGHT
ASH SOULS IN BASALT MOURN
BOIL SPECIAL SALVE
PURGE OUR EVIL
CLEANSE MAN DULY

A WHIR OF FINS
PAINT THE CURRENT WHITE
IN DEWY CLOTHS
THE ABELS CRY OUT 
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
AMID THE IRON ECHOES

ELI
UNDONE AT HIS SONS
MET OUR JUST END
OF GOD'S MERCY
MAN'S PIOUS PRIDE 
BURNS OFF

MEN FROM DARK LANDS 
BLIND US
SO BY UNMITIGATED LOVE 
WE CAN SEE
IF ENEMIES ATTACK
HOPE TO GOD FOR INTERCEDING
WARRIORS OF NEW PRAYER
RAIN HIS MIGHT DOWN

A LIFE TRADED 
FOR NEW OIL 
IS RARE
IN MEN
TRUE PURPOSE 
IS FOR THE SERVANT

CHILDREN ARE FREE
RETURNING LOVE 
WITHOUT ANGER
BUT MAN'S EVIL STAINS

DULL COWARDS 
ARE KEPT MUM
DYING IN SHACKLES
AS ILL SWINE DELIGHT
GORING INJURED BABIES

BEAR, LION, IDOL
TALL, VAST, LOW

BREAM IN THE HARD EAGLE TALON
ICY NEST OF ILL
A FULL BELLY FOR HER

PAST MEN FAIL
TALK TO ADAM
BUT WE WILL BE
THE RIGHTEOUS HARVEST
WHEN HE STARTS TO MOVE
THOUGH HE TARRIES

I STAND IN SILENCE
HEART-WASH OF ASH
TOE OF BULL'S BLOOD
AS ID'S AYIN WITHERS

ADVISE A RULER
IN A CALM MANNER
ALL ILL-SAD CITIZENS
OWE GOD FOR THEIR MISRULE

IN A CASTE-TIERED CITY
LOVE HAS NO FREEDOM
FOR WITHOUT LOVE
WE MAKE ACHIEVEMENT THE STANDARD
BLESSINGS SPOIL
IF MAN HOLDS ON TO THEM
DON'T MAKE LOVE A COMMODITY
REAL KINDNESS EXCELS
SAINTHOOD IS SERVANTHOOD

ANCIENT OF DAYS' COURT
SHAPES AMEN PEOPLE 
FROM THE NATIONS
VIEW JOSEPH'S ESCAPE
IN SOLITUDE, HE PRAYED
HOPE'S MIKVEH 
DUG US A NEW CHANNEL
ROADS PAVED WITH HOLINESS
IN BROAD SUNBEAMS

WE PLACE RULES UNDER LAW
FOR THE RESPECT OF GODLY PRECEPTS 
IS DAVID'S KEY
BY FIFTY, THE ENEMIES 
ARE TURNED BACK
MAN ISN'T GROUPS 
OF FRACTURED AGENDAS
BUT IS A FAMILY
GAINS OF GRACE 
EARMARKED FOR ALL OF ADAM
