You’re One of the Ten

 

Chosen, the world

Frozen; aright,

Your steadfastness

Pure, might His grace

Make you holy.

Take virtue: true

Fortitude: vice

Accrued now mist,

Pierced by White Light,

Dispersed. “Redeemed 

By the Almighty!”

Cry ten among

Each age, ten whom

Reach sanctity:

Refused a world

Infused in sinful

Pleasure seeking;

Leisure postponed;

Ignoring the

Scorning, mocking.

One of the Ten:

None too easy:

Turning God from

Burning the world.
