Day 297: To Be Obedient

---

∴

obedience
for obeyment’s sake
is a banana peel
that lays fruitless
against the meat.

it begs for us to slip on.

 

and rules made
to control
without reason
turn rancid
in the mouths
of those
who must chew.

they beg for us to break
or broken by, be.

 

momma always said,
“the Lord wants your heart, dear.
your heart.”

 

is it not the most human thing
to beseech allegiance
and yet none, give?

 

for protection, i’m sure.
for what it they’re wrong?
about God.
about love.
about me.
about staying.

 

is it not the most human thing
to beseech one
worthy of obeying?

∴
