Gospel Truth

brother you must know
that your suffering today is inferior
very much inferior
to the glory that is promised
in the ripeness of your time

feel the eager longing for the
coming of that time

for soon brother
you shall be freed from the decay of your
self-created depression

for quite long
we have groaned for that redemption
that spirit within
that hope for the coming.
