Spiritual Deserters Comments

Rating: 5.0

No taste of victory when lacking self-diminution -
Self-deflation invites soul-searching and contrition.
No armor of courage without harvest of self-sacrifice

This is a very deep and profound poem of many ideas, I had to read it just one sentence at a time to grasp the gravity of each message contained therein. It is a hard hitting look at people's lives today, indeed truth and spirituality have been abandoned for material things. These deserters you speak of do not have an interior life, they have forgotten how to nurture and grow their spiritual intellect. Such an excellent poem,10 - 10's if possible! Thank you, RoseAnn

When in doubt...LOOK TO THE CROSS. All the answers are there...and ONLY there. Great poem! Thanks.

Dear Dr. Kardas, 'Look at the Cross, without Its Triumph, all is a loss...' - this is the most quintessential Truth and reminder to ponder upon to save and restore our lives. And, indeed without selfless devotion, self-sacrifice and humility, there is no real life and thus no hope! Most essential truths written with careful skillfulness and eloquence. Dr. I assure you that there is neither wasting a line nor ink in your great poetry! It is always a spiritual banquet reading your work.10+++

Dear Dr. K. Another smashing poem! Yes, I too believe this world is on the brink of destruction because of the millions of 'spiritual deserters'. The mates are sinking their own ships...without God they haven't a chance to survive the storms...Love the first stanza-deep meaning and original writing. Keep that pen moving! RG & Pals
