God is Every-Thing (Haiku with poetic explanation)
His eight-legged friend
Trapped Him in a silky web;
God is every-thing
A poem about my insane haiku:
I pray and mourn alone
For the world that bore me.
My pen secretes the rancid hardships
As the ink sticks to the paper.
Thy transgressions
Bore my volatility.
They cause me to pray
For the tortured damned,
For the helpless victims,
And for those who can't harness
The perplexity of sporadically lain
Energy bursts that can burn the soul
I pray as I am alone because we
Are alone, covered by an impermeable
Dreadnought* of a cocoon *thick layer of clothing
Shielding us from everything
Good and Evil until we choose to remove
The suffocating vessel clothing and defending
Our weak egos
That separate
