[bodytext] => Moments in the rain
Coffee outside under an umbrella Whispers of music & disdain Long read words of the Dali lama What is that sound on the street Ahhh just another dork spinning his wheels Yet another poor lost geek Avoiding himself lost in day to day deals We lose ourselves in the race Always trying to impress the rest Ever the quickening pace And a striving for the best What happened to being human? What happened to long quiet walks in the forest? How did we end up this far from our clan? Mother earth must look at us an tsk tsk We worry about who has what And what does he believe Then try to get more stuff And tell him change what he believes For we forget that we are all the same We all bleed the same regardless of belief And we act inhuman to one another to our shame Will we ever find any relief? Our history is rife with the dead That died for what they thought The streets have run red With the atrocity we have brought And so often these things are done in a god’s name Almost always a god that claims forgiveness or peace and love But they all end up the same brining that blood red rain And the destruction of peaces dove Walk on quietly and speak not of your god to me I have read his books and listened to his preachers many And been told to open my eyes and see Often with much acrimony But I have opened my eyes and accepted what is true for me You claim an evil one has blinded mine eyes I act more like what you profess than you don’t you see? Your blinding ignorance my patience and civility tries But I refuse to be dragged to your level again You may lose yourself in your blind faith complete And claim every atrocity you commit is a gain I will walk away and hopefully you give me some respite STR 11-10-02 2:17PM [comments] => 3 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 11 [informant] => arakrune [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 16 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
