The preacher stands elevated from the rest
Ringing cries reverberate his suggests
Is his ranting evil, or is it blessed
Most pressing of all, will he succeed in his quest?

Standing at his altar in his church
He hits a high point in his speech, people lurch
Many are against his people search
Including those in thrones of birch

He seeks those destined to be his true friends
And he’s not manipulating them like a lens
He seeks not those he knows he bends
But the ones like he, who don’t fall into trends

The deity he worships does not glow
It does not promise eternal life or all to know
Yet there are so few with the courage to show
That they are willing to help and make this grow

From a box a man steps down
Sorrowful of humanity - can’t suppress his frown
He goes to his home in the town
And watches another man forge a crown

“Oh to live in a perfect world!”
But to our real leaders: spit is hurled
They sit in boxes, cold and curled
They watched as their existence swirled

Spiraled into a bitter, painful hell
“Oh to live in a nutshell!
To be oblivious the world fell
Not exiled because you rebel!”

“You’re better off without them!”
You start to condemn
But you cannot stand for this stem
Because you’ve always shown like a gem

“Then why am I here all alone?”
A sorrowful soul begins to moan
It would be so much easier if this were known
But I must sit here on my own

Hating humanity, forever tortured by this curse
Foresight to the inevitable, and evolution’s reverse
Watching the crowd of friends, at the bang, disperse
This man rides with no more cares in a hearse

This was good.

Many a time have I tried to write about God and the feelings that radiate around that topic and never have I managed this task. I always become jumbled and confused.

This is a good poem with many emotions.

This isn't about religion really. It's about people speacking their piece, some listened to some not. It was apinful and bitter for me, but I'll get over it. I happen to like this work, and I'm surprised at how fast all 3 of these were buried.
