The Way to Faith?
The horror is in the mirror it reflects
and reports the obscene that hides
behind human beauty.
Fear of death and stench of the crypt
for those who rely on mere physical
allure, and haven’t yet accepted time’s
way to rot and grind all down to finest
dust. Doomed to panic stricken roam
the world seeking a cure for old age
and loss of lust.
When a selfless act of prayer can
beautify our sad souls and set us free;
redeemed we can find Paradise.
