   Hey peeps. I don't want to offend anyone here that is not Christian or believe in God, all right? I just wrote a poem and want critique. So whatever your beliefs.....well, here's the poem.

        Dark night,
Cold stares.
Hard hearts,
Hate flares.

Man walks
Chin high.
Deep breath,
Heavy sigh.

Doesn't stumble
Steady strides.
Beggars cry,
Hypocrite hides.

Man kneels,
Arms apart.
Children come,
Softened hearts.

Students taught,
Lessons learned.
Miracles seen,
Hope returned.

On knees
Man prays.
Master weeps;
No other way.

Whip flys,
Awesome pain.
Flesh tears,
Despair reigns.

Man lifts,
Cross risen.
Man carries,
Shame given.

Distance traveled,
Man lifted.
Nails driven,
Muscles shifted.

Sun covered,
Sky is black.
Man's love pours,
Hate lacks.

All quiet;
No sound.
Man lost,
Saviour found.


Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

I like not only the style you wrote that in...But the poem in general...
It's really tight and the choices of words are GREAT...
Faith and faith alone...

This is a beautiful piece! I'm so glad that you know our God. This is a beautiful tribute to the sacrifices He made. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Keep up the great work!

PS- Don't think I'm stupid, but what does "Adonai" mean? Does it mean "God" or "Jesus" in another language? Just wondering!

This poem kicked so much ass. Besides the fact that i am completely religious within my very own self.......even if i wasnt i would have liked it a LOT. This poem speaks to me in a way unknown. Makes me happy to believe in what i do. Seriously....you did great cutie pie! KEEP IT UP HUNEY BUNEY! Haha!
