The Cause

It smacks of no deviancy to say that he who has not joined The Cause is a prisoner of his own flesh, a fact that Medieval Monastic Monks grappled with... The mission contained herein is that which is taught in Holy Scripture: namely, that he who believes in God's beloved Son feels no longer compelled to perform wicked acts but enjoys the liberty to chose what means and ends his conscience dictates to him... Thus, the substance of this long poem in free verse is the essence of Man's capacity to improve on his ways, not by psychiatric help but by spiritual transformation. In that sense, The Cause is a religious poem that deals with the transforming power of faith.
