THE MASS

 

“our temptation is as a result of our lust” they say

but why me in all honesty 

i have chosen the path to serve God 

willed my whole being to his service  

wearing cassock and saying the mass diligently 

thousand feminine eyes winks for attention 

they care not about appearances in my presence 

subtly fueling temptation 

rosary in rotation in my hands 

my fingers galloping in hurdles 

my heart always praying the Hail Mary 

yet still, the mind is a man’s unrivaled enemy 

I sit in hide and listens 

listens to confessions and visual emotions 

stories of lust, jealous, contempt and sexual pleasures

my brain tingles and his body jiggles 

my desires to sin ignites subtle 

my body arises at any given moment 

I shut my eyes and say an “act of contrition”

a contrite heart craves continuous salvation 

the mass helps purge our sins 

a confessor at the brink of being defeated 

“May His grace never depart from me”

“my heart is already running amok”
