PRACTICAL PRESENCE I appear to represent you, yet I am not sent of thee A form of godliness indeed, the power therefore is lacking I speak the language of the court, I am known in the royal parlance Respected for office and authority, but deep within, I am hollow Filled with emptiness and void, nothingness ravages my mind Troubling my thought and meditations, channeling them in directions That are marked for destruction If I plead for you to avenge my […]
