tongue-tried and twisting is the way i feel

trudging along the pathways of earth-life

plodding through mud and the garbage of strife

with laughing-heads and the google-eyed

with inflated worth and the lost of mirth

oh how the crush of empty falls on ones face with costs

of attempts at escape and the denials of lost

of impersonal  haves while living in want

searching ones hands for the dime that might get lost

struggling, juggling, moving along the path

unsure where to turn, to look or burn

but we move on walking where we can

searching for a handout looking for bread

some place within there's a call and charge

to focus with glee as best one can

to answer the prayer stand clear and tall

through fog and shadows with the mysterious trolls

oh the journey we take while roamin' this life

attempting to stay sane while clawing for Cain

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -God cannot lie since (God) has no external appearance.

  -God is betrayed in reality, not in some scene from a play.

  -Jesus'  silence about his identity is also the Word of God.

  -It is precisely through the deconstruction of prefabricated and idolatrous images, whose clarity is misleading, that the human characteristics of God are revealed.

  -Jesus is what happens when God speaks freely in a man or woman.
