Tell me what you know is good Rub me with your robe in hood Press my nose against the floor Shout the holy words of lore Tell me now how I should live Nothing but my flesh to give Picked my brains for selfish deeds Placed inside your numbing seeds Tell me what you know is right My dark ways increase the night Step in Light to the same beat Born Again, I wash your feet Tell me just what do we need Nail their spirits with our creed Strip them from their cultured race Wipe the mouth off of a face Tell me who we should attack Bend them ‘til we break their backs Stand their bones inside the pews Pass the plate of moral views Tell me now what must be done Build a cross for everyone Point a finger at their grave From themselves: we have to save Tell me how we will succeed From the same book we must feed Those that choke are sure to fall Our God is for one and all! "I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty. Trees bend their boughs toward the earth. And nighttime birds float as black faces." |

First off, I don't expect to gain any "brownie points" on this site by posting poems such as these two. Second, I actually admire that you asked an honest and open question about these poems... instead of the usual, "Nice poem" or "That was good." It showed to me that you actually read and thought about what you read, and I don't know how often that happens in here. It may seemed geared towards Christianity, and it is, but only because that is what I can relate my feelings to on this subject matter. I was raised a Christian. However, it can pertain to any religion that thinks it "got the market cornered" on salvation... and believe that their concept of God is the only true God. Thanks Sea, I appreciate your candid reply. "I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty. Trees bend their boughs toward the earth. And nighttime birds float as black faces." |

Thanks for understanding it was an honest question I do give a lot of that was nice replies, or that I enjoyed a poem, I'm not big on critiques because I don't think I'm qualified to do so. But I won't say that i enjoyed it if I don't mean it. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I do agree with you. I don't believe there is only "one" religion that is good and right. I think there are so many different religions for a reason...to teach people what they need to know for what is going on in their lives, and as they learn and grow, so might their choices of religion. |

Whoa! I am not judging you on your replies. And I am sure that many sincere replies may just be a simple, "That was nice." It is just refreshing to see an inquisitive reply once and a while that is all. And as your final comments, I couldn't agree with you more. double |
