[hometext] => this is based on a real conversation...except that all the words have been changed
[bodytext] => Standing, my back up against a bank on Peckham high street Listening to a preacher man on fire in the heat Every word laced with fierce joy This man sounds like he’s on the right track but hey no ones listening, Oh boy I walk up to this preacher man and inquire “does a gay man have any place in heaven?” He turns and booms “turn for your wicked ways and watch for the seven” I retort “would God really create a damned soul?” He starts quoting Leviticus at me and on he steam rolls Well I’m searching for the truth Yes I’m searching for the truth Oh I’m searching for the truth Haven’t found it yet But I’m searching for the truth A paraplegic with rotten teeth interrupts our conversation He wants some money but preacher man ignores his lamentation I say “hey man have you read the Bible code?” He snaps “the Bible is the infallible word of God it don’t need no God dammed code” I get up on my toes and ask “can you read ancient Greek?” He looks me straight in the eye and says “boy listen close to the words that I speak” “I been touched by the hand of the Lord I can speak in tongues I’ve had visions and revelations I am among the chosen ones The mysteries of the universe have been laid plain for me to see” I say “hey that’s great man so you so you can help” He swallows puts his on my shoulders and says “boy you got to find it out for your self” Well I’m searching for the truth Yes I’m searching for the truth Oh I’m searching for the truth Haven’t found it yet But I’m searching for the truth [comments] => 3 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 34 [informant] => PLformalyknownasPpaul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

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. ©
