Been awhile since I have visited here....hopefully will end the neglect
False God

Closed soul breeding a dead mind
Open only on Sunday
Accepting only those of a kind
Take your failing God and bleed with it

Destruction a follower of your path
Damnation based on love
I have no fear of your lords’ wrath
It has not the power to give you sight

All that I am can feel your hate
Yet fail to understand
I’ll pray to your God it’s not too late
To shed such light as a numb mind can take

Closed mind seeding this dead soul
Redirect your faith
If only your heart you gave control
To see there is no false creator, only the truth

"If only your heart you gave control"

I like the poem, and wish to see more of its kind.

My aplogies....I certainly had no intention of offending anyone. Had I known this had become a predominantly Christian website I would have Chosen something less distasteful to post.

Mods please feel free to remove the above poem, should you see the need.

Again...No offense intended.

Tecoyah- The members of Passions are among the most understanding that you will ever find. This popem does not stand outside of the boundaries of the guidelines, and is- IMHO- a very decent write, and a really good job of putting your thoughts down... and this from an ordained minister.
I actually (proving that poetry is what the reader makes of it) not as a damnation of the Spirit failing the faithful, rather the "faithful" failing the Spirit.
Never sell your integrity, or the integrity of your words for what another might think... let them place their words beside it for all to judge.

Great Job.

hey, know what? i didn't find this offensive either. and i'm a "christian." but i really hate to be called that because of the automatic steriotype that goes with it. I try not to be like everyone else including so called christians, and i think you're poem just explained why. nicely done.  *add
