Intentions once golden
lay lost in the clutter
hidden from the world
by the walls
your hands have made.

To look like the saviour
was your only dream
but now the one you call saviour
disowns your very deeds.

The blood that purged
once horrid soul
is now so thin
it is  barely seen

For it is diluted
with your "holy" work and deeds
and laws you have made
to fill the void
in once sacred writ

Your works and laws
are all you have
for your consuming fire is quenched
and is now cold and dead.

You could have drunk
from Canaan's sweet springs
but you have chosen instead
to drink from
the harlot of indiference's
shriveled breasts!

WOW!  Well done!  Well done, indeed.

WOW!

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

this is very powerful, I love the intent, that what we can have we so often give up, until it's to late, how is is that sometimes no matter how hard we try to do our best, it's never our best.

can feel your disgust...
maybe the change is in you and you've simply outgrown the situation...change can be a good thing despite first impressions...
I enjoyed...thanks again for the inspiration.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
