Thoughts To Ponder Poem by John Sensele

'Twas a brave slave
Who taught me to smile
When his emaciated lips did crave
To excise from my mind bile.

'Twas love so suave
That sterilised my mind
When an error so grave
Threatened to make me unkind.

'Twas an innocent infant
Who enjoined me to love
When twinkling light in an instant
Shone kindness into my heart's from above.

'Twas a super sermon
That during a church service
That put to slumber my devious demon
To blow open my coffer of avarice.
