he failed because he never believed

even the infidels have more courage
more confidence
and they have no belief in God

he failed because he would not move

and to make no decision is to decide
and to make no steps forward is to stagnate
and begin a backward slide…
and he cursed his family name

he failed because he would not receive

so his heart, unaccustomed to real love
repelled its warm sensations ~
like a foreign, unwanted thing…

he failed because he did not obey the Spirit

he was a scribe…gifted in the art
but that was long ago
and as the light grows dim in his eyes

he will have no one to blame, for in spite
of all who tried to touch him

he failed
