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 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... |
