in the ring

"So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air;" 1 Corinthians 9:26

it doesn't matter
how many punches,
jabs, crosses i throw,
that heavy bag of my grudges
just hangs there taking every blow.
i try to improve my relationships
with others working out on
cooperation's speed bag,
but when i walk away, i slip on 
my mask and become a lone ranger.
i spend a lot of time shadow boxing
with the Evil One, trying for a KO,
but the wily devil keeps slipping away.
but i will keep coming to your gym
hoping that one day, one day, 
it will all come together.
i hope.
