Sketch of man caught by spirits...

By Peter Menkin

________________________________________

Superstition
gripped him, holding
evil
grasp on his freedom.

Said,
"My family is superstitious,
I
cannot escape it."


"Daily
anxiety creates fear
inside
so I do not go outside easily."

"Psychologists
have words for this thing
that
fetters my life."

His
testimony is honest,
seeking
freedom from the spirits
enslaving.

Now
after these confessions,
goes,
and I see him anew,
chained.
