Holy Resurrection

persevere years on end,

to Failure’s amusement Impious

                                     Tears

                                       Descend

eventually desensitized, ceasing before the crescendo

but even a broken clock’s right twice a day

you know?

betting on yourself is o-bligatory;

consistency yields a Phoenix story

each dawn of the yester-self perishes

as with           each

              cycle        of 

                       life 

a piece of the soul is re-molded, oft without gripe

eventually you’re reborn in the same life.

suffer and strife 

to towering heights—

micro samsara;

you must suffer on end

for it to pay dividends.

then, it’s the pride and belief 

you cannot comprehend.
