A sentence,
this..life(?)

Shall I
repent then
on bended knee

Aquittal from
sins I have
never commited

This is
your way
to salvation

Or so you
have written

I need
new words
yours suit me not..

I got a powerful message from this poem. Touched me, because I've not had the words to describe so eloqently the theme you have described here. Thankyou for this wonderful poem.

This is amazing - I have to keep going back to it - the best part is how you question life - as in "whatever you call what I am doing here" - again - as always - questioning the man - this is a keeper - although I know you were grrrr at Him writing it - also the way in which you "demand" answers  - excellent Raph - your words always inspire me to write more xxoo

is asked what are they atoning for , what sins, and they anser, stuffing food in their mouths "we don't know".......

Maybe you do not need new words, but new insights ... the answers to many mysteries can be found WITHIN. You question very efficiently .... listen with the same dedication and a whole new world will unfold for you. For certain people WE (yes I am a "rebel" too!) are just too open-minded. But the voice inside knows better.
Grazie Raffaele ... sei come uno specchio per me. I do love HIM with all my heart, but there is certainly more than one way to ENLIGHTENMENT..... and words can be very confusing.
