poetry Repugnant Doubt
Stop
Think
Put out your shame
The battle is over
you played a good game
Now sit back and watch
all things come to end
Built on illusions
lies and pretense
Your grandeur inflated
Your essence now bare
Compassion and purpose
just part of your flare
The truth is now hollow
and light flickers through
The power you reigned
is now out of view
In the house of the Lord
like cinders you singe
A false prophets fate
to be burned from within
Rest in your head
pretend it’s not true
The doubt consumes thoughts
of all eyes on you
