H.A.L.T. IN THE NAME OF LOVE!

Christian men, too, need helps,*

On occasion to not act like whelps…

With that wolfish grin

Suddenly slipping in,

To actions and thoughts beyond help.

–

This Poet and others of this Age,

Face constant barrage on stage…

A system to tell

When we don’t function well,

When our wisdom is not that of a sage.

(Some would claim…that is most of the time!)

–

Hungry, Angered, Lonely and Tiredness

Factors in  decision-making to address…

If one or more rate high

It should warn that guy,

That it’s time to avoid sinfulness!

–

Twelve-step programs have this too,

Didn’t know it–never got that far through…

Before was thrust out,

It’s the timing, no doubt,

To be ready to learn something new.

–

Now please don’t have fear–me toward,

I am no monster unrestored…

It has been my concern

To lessen “heart burn”,

Better wielding of the HOLY SPIRIT’s Sword.

–Jonathan Caswell
