The Test (Aids) (2013 re-write)

The Test (Aids)

Here on this index finger,

this funny little prick

stand judge and jury;

adjourned to decide the caliber of your fate.

Pricked muted witness tell naught but hints tauntingly 

toward purposeful intent.

Can your body’s temperament belie health; 

for that matter exaggerate ill?

Body and Mind joined in reluctant alliance

communicate no collective understanding

except to inform that fear betrays Karmic acceptance. 

Here on this index finger...

this funny little prick

Stands

Evidence of the judge & jury

adjourned to decide the caliber of your future.

Muted witnesses

tell naught but for some

acknowledged, direct and purposeful intent.

Can my body’s temperament belie health,

for that matter exaggerate ill?

Body

and

Mind…

Segregated

in this simple alliance

communicate no collective understanding

except to sense that

Fear betrays trust in God..

While certainty begs a spiteful end.
