hopefully to right human failings

Bjorn's given words:
dyadic  - relating to or based on two; twofold
profess  -  To affirm openly; declare or claim
carnalize - debase through carnal gratification
dingy  - Shabby, drab, or squalid.
holly  -  the foliage and berries, used especially
for Christmas decoration.
alee -  upon or toward the lee side of a vessel;
away from the wind
benison  -   an utterance of good wishes,
a spoken blessing

Is it proper to have a peek into
a dyadic representation of man’s
mind, a mind bifurcated of two
separate wholes but layered?

Professing a stance to carnalize
on banal weaknesses is to stoop
so low on a human frame

Dingy in preference is no 
validation of intentions and no 
amount of holly cheer in any 
direction alee or otherwise  can 
alleviate evil desires of a 
twisted mind

It runs smack against a profusion
of a priest’s gentle benison to remind
and hopefully to right human failings

For Bjorn's hosting at lqw Wordle #13 and
Tess' at Magpie Tales # 248

  1. I love the first stanza. It invites so much though about relationships between one's self and others, too.

  2. Many tend to stoop low indeed, but then all about perception I suppose

  4. Love the way you have inter-weaved so many feelings & messages.
    3rd & 4th paras are especially significant.
