I thought you were brilliant
I saw you as great
Warmth in business
With a very clean suit and tie

Jesus, should I just freak out?
Next time I see someone arrogant against you?
Should I pray that surely you can handle it
Depend on you and listen to your people...

I write this poetry quietly,
But why so quiet and insecure
Didn't you make me this way?
Or is it just how I see myself?

Someone to stand with me and they all ran away
Indifferent and blind to money and fun
What should I do?
You are the only one I can trust
You're faithful to those that are faithful to you
I can't force someone to genuinely give a damn
I can be real to them, and they can be what they are

Jesus, your people disgust me
It makes me want to puke
When I go to extremes fantasy that could be surreal
Jesus, please bring the earthquake
I've heard of some of your prophets speaking it
Please let it happen
You aren't answering my prayer about my eye sight
Inspite of your grace I'm still blind
Praise you Lord God well above the horns

So what if my wings are too scratched, cut, and beat up to fly... I'll walk.

Long time no see old friend!  Your work: majestic and wrenching as always.  I stand in awe.

Your friend, Sylvia.

"why so quiet and insecure"??

someone to stand with me...

i wanna respond with "i am the cheese, i stand alone"...and i guess i just did, but the word stand evoked even more, my dear craigy, and i am reminded of the whitecross tune that goes "behold the lamb of GOD, reaching out HIS nail scarred hands...HE wants to lift you up, give you strength so you can stand."
anyway, thank purity for my first ever capitalization...lol you green itchy freak you!lol nice write!!

of all the things we try to find... it's only love we keep.

So quiet because once your eyes are gouged out you can't see until you have some sorta special surgery, obviously...  I stay in the basement of a 3 story apartment complex for free as a maintenance man and my job as an on foot pizza delivery boy is a pretty cool supply of food.  I don't have easy access to the internet anymore.  But its fun...
Nice to hear from you guys.

God bless,

i believe that this belongs in the spirtual if not philosphical cat.  the questions you have tried to answer are not dark, if you were express your rage and then how you would deal with this then perhaps it could stay.  but i feel that you are philospizing.  
i no longer wonder why god or jesus or any deity leave us be even though some believe they are right/wrong.  it i belive is in the hopes that that will no longer be.  that we can put aside or relgions and just get along.  
we all get sense data, no one can say it is wrong or right for there is no universal truth or foundation we can use to compare it to or weight it on.  guess thats why i am so laid back about things.

Athiesm promotes fairness and equality and no religious preference.  There is a reason behind that though.  It doesn't happen to be an accident.  It doesn't matter what kind of poison you eat, poison will kill you and it doesn't matter how quick or long it takes, once you die its job is finished.  And if one poison's prupose is to kill you and another does the job it will not be angry with the first, but will be at peace and wait for the next person to infect.

God bless
