This is a poem I wrote when I was still a teenager. Actually, the writing of this poem is what set me off on my current path, a docorate in philosophy. I haven't been to these forums in ages, and now as I am attempting to revitalize my poetic tendancies, I wanted to share this poem first as it is essentially the spawn of my curiosity. I will post any philosophical poetry here. I Cry Out in Vain I question your God, my heart, and my soul Existence needs proof, in stories I'm told But I sit here and cry, lacking gratification While others have died, solely for their religion So why do I cry? If I do not believe What makes me doubt, I can not conceive Is it power above? Or in my own heart where these feelings are born, I know not where to start Is God just a form of societal ethic? Or is God a true being, to be viewed as angelic It is nature to question, but with no answers received I am still hanging, what can I achieve? In need of assistance, I cry out in vain I am a lost child, my doubts will retain But I fear for my death, for what will remain please help . . . for I fear I am already slain. and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me... |

a great poem that was.but friend,God is forreal,u need to believe that for that is the essence of our being here in the first place.recognition of and appreciation to God and in the process achieving the purpose he has for us here on earth.froim the poem i could sense an element of faith that u're scared to act upon,please dont be.being a believer doesnt make u less of a philosopher,it makes u a wiser one.if u ever need to talk to anyone about this,please email me at [email protected] and i'll be more than quick to answer anny questions and guide u towards home.when u do email,as subject use somthing like "netpoets" well i do hope to hear from u. Always, D-Star. Jesus died that you might live...accept that and u shall be saved. |

It was said, "Seek and ye shall find." That is the truth of it. Best wishes on your journey. If you seek sincerely, and with patience, you will find.  .....jo |

Thanks! I have long since come to some temporary conclusions about what exactly the concept of God is. I tend to stay away from the idea of a "Creator", or a seperate being that "created" the universe and us seperately from it. I tend to lean much more towards the idea that the universe (that includes us) is one being, experiencing itself through various levels of creativity and novelty (or complexity) that increase constantly in both density and resonance of recursion (experientially). That the universe was not created and pushed from a starting point, but instead is being pulled by a transendental object towards itself, towards the end of history (or time as we conventionally know it). Confusing I know, but it makes sense to me. Just thought I should share this along side my teenage poetry of curiosity. and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me... |
