Monochromatic manipulation fusing white & black to numbing shades of gray,
Ichor-slicked sputum bubbling behind pearly whites,
Self-disgust becomes systemic, shame is malignant,
Pride is embedded, never sated, everlastingly perpetuated.
Reclusion: our very self, our husk can become a custom-tailored prison.
Cocoons of denial, excuses, and victimization incur the opposite of its purpose:
They shrink us & dessicate our relationship with God rather than grow.
One becomes bogged down with backstory, suffocating on self-sufficiency
Christ's blood-stained lens cracks, distorting sin,
Silenced into a sleeper cell, disguised in societal acceptance.
Obfuscating spiritual obesity: the negative feedback loop.
We consume vanity, compromise with comparison & quaff questionable activity.
Every filling focal point other than the Father,
Every Christian calorie uncounted & unapplied lesson
Steadily, unassumingly, gets stored as fat.
Brick by brick, the castle is constructed, man-made,
Deluded in the belief that the inactivated knowledge protects,
But the amber-tinted, soul-clogging globules only fossilize.
Stagnantly, it inhibits our sanctifying evolution,
Eventually leading to our extinction.
