Brother Laurence prays in earnest
that sins to which he is prone ---
specifically, not invade devotion time
Devotion time is, indeed, the day long,
from early awake to pillow talk
be he peeling potatoes or policing the kitchen
Lo, one day his prayers are answered
The miracle occurs
Cravings for mating suddenly vanish
Of course, Brother'ss appreciative, if not exactly elated.
Battles to counter carnality's wrong inclination no longer in play,
the excitement of impending combat fizzles
Has good Brother Laurence achieved final victory?
Liberation through enlightenment, enlightenment through sacrifice
Or might there be another explanation?
Might testosterone levels in him dropped dramatically?
By pints subsiding. Praise to maturity.
Happy Independence Day!
