A twisted little about faith, and searching for the answers to the questions few dare ask.

-Divinity Squared-
by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*


In my face
At my back
To both sides
Above my head
Below these feet
Divinity squared
All that is known
All that is seen
Questionable
Questions I’ll ask
Often do I seem
As if I’m well aware
But be assured
Well aware
Is what I’m not
Continually
For the answers
Will I plead
People closest to me
Are often forced to flee
Most of them call me mad
A pathological man
In an insane land
With a gun to his head
And a knife to his throat
All the while standing
Upon the highest ledge
Justifiable
Are such assertions
Often do I go
Where they won’t dare
Asking what most won’t
Fighting every good fight
While taking
Quite a few casualties
The battle
Is sometimes over
But the war rages
On and on
Nothing is free
Most of all
What it is that I seek
Divinity squared
Faith itself
Does not keep me here
But the idea of faith
Has left me planted
Like a tree
Deep in the ground
Like a weed
Shallow
In the mind
Between
I divide my time
In my face
At my back
To both sides
Above my head
Below these feet
A prison of salvation
Unbuilt
Unkempt
I could leave
I should flee
But I won’t
I have to know
Just as I have to ask
For a man like me
There can be nothing else
Divinity squared
I will write each line
I will consecrate myself
To every impossible lie
I will tell of what I know
And of what I have seen
Those who listen
Those who understand
Will in time
Offer me a release
But I know that I can’t leave
No more than I can escape
Here I will always remain
A dubious prisoner of both
The heart and mind…
