PARANOIA
Throughout my sacred journey
This defiling word has greeted my efforts
So many deem me psychotic
“Delusions of persecution”
“Strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason”
I suppose my “paranoia”
Boils down to a simple creed
His Holy Ghost within me
Surging power of Christ’s anointing
His word is crystal clear
My calling is to share it
With the “uttermost part of the earth”
Controversial to most
Life changing to a gracious few
This the focus of my quest
It matters not to me
How nay saying haunts my path
To follow Him obediently
Daily labor of loving fulfillment
Companionship divine
Truth is unmistaken
Once the veil of social norm is lifted
Humble prayers
I lift up
For those who shun my commission
May His peace explode within you all
Your eyes come forth to see
par·a·noi·a ( P ) Pronunciation Key (p r -noi )n.
A psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason.
Extreme, irrational distrust of others.
[Greek, madness, from paranoos, demented : para-, beyond; see para-1 + nous, noos, mind.]
