Blessed In The Damned Line

Conferred by christians
Who are not
Eternal punishment
They dont know

Hell is my priviledge
Condamnation blessing
The judgements of others
Sets the joys of a few

Treated badly by many
Because of what they thought they heard
Hardly a knock at my door
To see if aught was true

Doomed to misfortune or failure
For what I believe and do
This place of solitude be my grace
It's blessing, it's bad taste
    
Criticized for being me to the end
Denounced, for my every choice
Damned for being a Husband and father
Censured for dreams that are too big  
        
Reviled on every hand, blamed for my pride
Who gave me this right to confide      
 Who dare reprove or reprehend
God's peace for me inside?   
 
I am blessed in this damned line
Viewing those viewing me
God's grace and mercy shadows all
His eternal peace ever free

Dear Nathenial, my gifted poetic Brother,

Your avid fans in cosmo would only  criticize you for not being "you"!  For it's the "you" that we laud.  The "you" that creates the amazing words that challenge us all.  The "you" whose pride is revered, and whose "right to confide" is in our poetic constitution. 

Peace and Love,

xox Larry
