Old Bat and the Boy Wonder...

Dizzying heights of Conceit
or Demoralized Depths,
nothing close to fifty shades here;
in this World

chance is always 50/50,
only two sides to the coin

the grading is pass or fail

best you somehow

leave a trail for yourself

but take the cannoli

bread crumbs,

we already know

would be of no avail here...

Unlikely pairing;

Karma and the Cross,
Preacher and Agnostic

Shaman and Christian,
peering into a Neglected World
and wondering what's become of

the Lost Boys,
the Fallen Women...

Choose carefully

the bricks you build

this house upon

for the Winds of Adversity

will huff and puff
and blow your house down,

batten down the hatches,

hitch up ol' Paint,
think it's Time to go
on the War Path
but this Time
the trophies will be

for all to share...
