[hometext] => What is religion?, What is truth? 2 very important questions. What do they mean to you?
[bodytext] => Introduction: Whether in a good way or a bad way each person has asked his or herself the question of what is truth and what is religion. As strong as my words are in this poem they do not change that I believe each person must be convinced in his own heart what that is. I only present my convictions as a christain from what i learned and see. I write this because I do not want people to use this as a poem to preech at others or against others. I spent a few days and wrote a few poems on this subject trying to say things in a way that would cause the reader to consider his or her own life. The things written here are universal in their meaning and purposely so, I think God teaches a universal lesson just like gravity is universal life is as well. It's rules are not always seen as clearly or they are seen as unneeded or mundane. This poem will not strengthen or weaken a person's personal belief that can not happen without action. But this poem should pose questions that either draw a person to action or inaction. As a writer this is what was on my heart and so I present it to the reader as such. It has had other benifiets for me which i will not discuss. It is the foundation of law and the mystery of heart and the reason why some have such strong opinions It is the pulling of the soul to a bigger goal free of selfishness and delusions If it's anything more than a love between mankind and God when the times of testing come of our joy we shall be robbed It teaches love for our nieghbors and forgiveness for our foes It shows us how we need to live It gives practicals to guide toward a conscience life with a unity that is a mystery If it's anything more than the debt we owe each other we are destined to repeat the mistakes of our forefathers There is more that I could say and maybe I will one day to those who want to hear of grace and love I'll say for opinions sake history's replete today with hundreds of all kinds of religions each man must wade through the waters of what may be truth or invent within himself his own rules be careful what you do don't build a church that does not have truth "What is truth" I leave to you a mystery a poem an analogy I leave you what is plain to see a forest hidden before trees A message few have figured out I leave you what we speak about we teach our children not to steal and tell them how to be for real and show them by our faithfulness a love that's full of righteousness when we forgive the wrongs they've done and show them how to overcome the simple things that hold us back and fill in them what we too lack when pride and fear get in the way causing our core to dissipate then spiralling toward pleasure's end we kill our little innocence by doing what is obvious I need not explain this we all know what is wrong we all know how to be strong we make up our own excuse and just like Pilate ask "What is truth" [comments] => 5 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 62 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 28 [ratings] => 6 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => spiritual )

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. ©
