Unredeemed... Poem by Dorothy Kardas, Psy.D. Th.D.

Unredeemed...

Rating: 5.0


Looking down
what largely to descry
but an idolatrous eye -
image uninviting
spreading shade - startling,
selfishness, saber-rattling,
greed - wolfish, all-swallowing
inner sense - dense, wallowing

Image frightening
tongue in cheek,
palm-greasing
betrayals petrifying!
Warm blanket missing

Hearing sounds - unappealing,
noise of dark creatures
voice misbelieving, heathenish
sobs chilling
goblet with tears filling

Looking down
what mainly to detect
but misdeed variform of a worm
scene of ill-omened effect
shockable wailing
provident posture failing

Not bowing down
unregretful
forgetful
of grace and favor
unending joy,
the incurable prodigal child
will not savor

Dr. Kardas, This is one of my most favorite poems! The skillful elucidation of the main catastrophic sins and human unawareness, apathy or blindness: 'warm blanket missing', 'sobs chilling, goblet with tears filling', 'provident posture failing' - profoundly penetrating and meaningful insights! ! ! Indeed, 'unending joy, the incurable prodigal child will not savor...' What tragic yet stark naked Truth! Regretfully, there will be more unredeemed souls than we can image for refusing to accept the Sacrifice and redeeming truths of Christ. Love, Penny 10+++++

Took some time to read all of your posts...spendid work! Shows strong emotion and caring spirit. Unbeatable unique style, which I've never encountered. Most of all, the messages are very dear to my heart. Saving lives of the unborn and saving souls should be our ultimate goals. God bless your ministry. JB.

I agree with Joe..very fast and accurate shots! So many people today think they are 'saved', yet fail the Almighty by not doing His will.They think if they change human laws, that God will OK their misbehaviour...WOW! They'll be shocked as you so potently decribe here. Keep the rounds of shots rolling!
