Church of Forgotten Beliefs
June 14th, 2002
Copyright 2002 Doug Pretorius

I hold my own hand, tied by trials,
tempered through misgiven understandings.
Representions that shouldn't be made,
for all our dreams are held in the same hat,
the same one held out for collections,
at the Church of the Forgotten Beliefs.
Strangely you look exactly as you did,
these 20 years missed your face.
Maybe because you hide your eyes,
from the futility I've come to trust.
I covered my own sins with a sack of coins,
amazing how god loves gold,
afterall, I needn't question our patron,
saint of wasted lives and donated goods,
I suppose.

This is quite the write! I have to agree!
The multi-directional perception of standards still baffles.
Exceptionally deep thoughts my friend!
