Civility Sermon Poem by John Sensele

Even though ephemeral events engineer
Obdurate obstacles oscillating ominously
From your brain to your heart to instill fear
Pray hard, stick to your faith religiously.

Even though the battle gives you bother
As the end knocks at your door
Dare to care for another, for your brother, for your mother
Because it's not over until God says so.

Even though mockers, suckers and hecklers
Elect to reject Joyce, your choice
Remain resolute for soon sticklers
Will bruise, lose, freeze as your vivify your voice.

Even though in the natural
Blocked is your path to Heaven
It ain't so in the supernatural
Where sacred are numbers seven and eleven teeming with lofty leaven.
