    GOT FAITH?

    Shadows provide the shade
    Frayed and feeble give thanx
    Sweat beads form river banks
    Leading to firmament
    Supplication to a damnful deity
    Devours what's left of a faith

    Harm the safe

    As the faith starts to question
    Rosary beads break
    Creates perils for those who don't watch where they step

    The bless is the curse
    Switch meanings in reverse
    The purpose search immersed
    Into a baptism prison
    Waiting for the flesh
    Or until the hearts and minds have risen
    Tension from the missionaries
    Stressing salvation through religion
    Cracked whips
    Slave ships
    Claiming it's god given
    Yet somethings missing...

    The sound, the view the way things were, is how here now is written, but with the praise, in God we raise, perhaps as he is biden, the skys will clear, with sweet mana near, mayhaps the world has risen.

    hear ya brother, them ships brought demise to my ancestors. their own religion is in turmoil, they're falling on their own beads ;) God gives to us what is needed, regardless of what another "man" preaches. nice job on this!

    tank U luv tank u very much!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
