Hallowed words, sacred spoken dispensations,
meant for surcease of the agonized soul in
its desperate flagellation for sins the soul
did not seek.
Hapless sinner, careless with your heart,
left wide open the door and transgression slipped
inside.
Now you moan and weep and wail, broken on
the rack of ignorance. Deeds done, have a
synergistic alliance with ignorance.
A sin, once committed, lives, woven into
the universal fabric. It has no footnotes.
No disclaimer to explain that it was born of
love and bred by desire.
Its greasy smear upon white walls
does not wipe clean with repentance,
but oozes into the tiny cracks the sinner bears.

"A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Roosevelt

This is a very deep poem, not sure whether it's an "angry" piece or not, but it sure is vivid.

very vivid, what Irish said, I'll echo, plus...as for me, I'm going to step to the side here, and with all I have, I will give it to Him and with all my power, I will let it go and let Him take care of it.  That is all I am able.

Powerful poem, here, Lady.

We made a deal, Eternal Spirit and I...because He loves me no matter what I have done, I will use the gift of words He
gave me to try to help people understand others.
