The paper calls
To tell a story
Of rises and falls
Gruesome and gory

Subtle truths must be placed
Within the fabric of the tale
The fiction must be laced
So the words do not become stale

Give the illusions
Of a perfect life
To make the delusions
Inseparable even by the sharpest knife

Illustrate such things
As gods hands
Or the pain evil brings
Even in foreign lands

It can not be stopped
Until the pen cries tears
For it knows these words can not be topped
Even in a lifetime of years

Great job, POA.  I haven't seen you around Teen #4 much lately.  I hope you keep posting because I always enjoy reading your work.
Another job nicely done here.

Great poem! Two things though....
- the flow broke off a bit due to some lines having a small amount of syllables and others have much more.
- the G in God is capitolized

I'm not sure if you don't believe in God. If you don't, maybe that's why you didnt. Just informing.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

yes, anything that points out to God should be capitalized as Dopey has so dilligently mentioned already  
What can I say about your work POA
I'm speechless
keep sharing and thanks for the read

I'm sure that's really just a religious preference of you fellows, I don't see why anyone outside of such a belief system would have to capitalize "god" simply for the assumption that he's even speaking of the god you are both speaking of.  "God" is just a word, it need not be capitalized in certain contexts.  
Another marvelous piece, Poet.

Allan, let me put it to you plain and simple.......What *I* said was this:
IF he believes in God then it should be capitalized....
IF he doesn't then fine....I understand....
I was trying to understand WHY is wasn't capitalized.
Ok yea

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
