The Mind Blind

Steven Lester

In what season produces the greatest reason

that soils mens morals, and that dooms to whitened tombs

Earthly passions and fleshly beauty, that draw, weaken and seduce me

Please listen that these vices are not the most damnable devices

They are only the apparent sins, that fill up reasons lens

The serpent becries, “Here sin lies.” Only to disguise, the real demise.

There is on the mind a veil, that brags, “My good works prevail.”

Yet to fix our sight on the law of light, will give condemnation to our motivation

For we keep the law near, only out of soulish fear

And only hold the holy creed, as a result of Adamic greed.

Loving the law of the Lord is in hope of receiving reward

and living the commandment is accomplished through fear of punishment.

Our works then are tainted, corruptly motivated

This reveals the blackness of the will, that darkned heart will our best works kill

Leaving us in a bitter state, full of good works that God does hate

because its not what good we have done, its about serving him with the love of a son.

So when you believe your obeing the Heavenly calling, the fact is you have already fallen

It is not of the devil, but fleshly revel, of greed and fear an ethic bind, not for love and sonship of our King divine

No other reason I find, that keeps the mind blind
