Poetry Challenge
I didn't get one written yesterday, well not a catchup poem anyway, so this morning I've done two.
April 3, write a poem with the title "The Problem With _______."
The Problem With Religion
I am surrounded
by good religious folk;
Baptists, Penticostals,
Mormans, SDA,
Assembly of God,
Church of Christ,
of God,
of God of Prophecy.
Sit in a resturuant
and hear them pray,
“God help M_,
who is going to hell.”
They pick and choose scriptures
to support their views,
and their God is vindictive
and hateful and cruel.
What happened to love,
is the notion passe?
And who made them judge?
Have they now become God?
April 4, write a poem with an animal as the title and theme. Well, when you read this haiku, you'll have a touch of insight into one of the things current in my life at the moment.
Horse
You lay there so still
in the woods behind the house
returning to dust.
