Do not tell me what un-Christian means
Who delineates this boundary line to others
Discerns so little in the glowing of Golgotha

Refrain from denouncing wicked particulars
Providence crafted Evil for one purpose
To illuminate the intricate trail to freedom

When adult, take not morality from commandments
But build it from your examined heart’s travails
The mission is Love; not petty obedience

Remember steadfast the true future’s promise
“Come and See”; Though Lucifer was slyly premature,
Still if you walk it awake, “Ye Shall Be As Gods”…

Neither recipe, nor instruction manual, nor algorithm,
My conscience must become — an organ of Perception
