You make me happy, when times are bad
And it is so clear, If you could be here
You’d protect me from my drunk step-dad

When times are trying, my mother dying
We know you’re listening, to all our prayers
She was a dancer, now she has cancer
You created heaven to show us that you care

Cystic Fibrosis, caused my psychosis
My lung infections, cannot be cured
I can’t complain though, you also died slow
For my sins, pain on the cross you endured

I hear the talking, this poem is mocking
What is the point to, a sick story told
I don't hate Jesus, think you should see this
But this superstition that is religion has grown old [comments] => 3 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 43 [informant] => EloquentDegenerate [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

My Buddy Jesus

You've expressed your anger so fluidly here. I have no words of advice or condolence, just know I feel empathetic. Well written.

Well, no one wants to be wasting time on superstitious religion. On the other hand, I appreciate the expression of genuine and hopeful faith in Christ, even in the middle of crises. I can understand the anger and frustration, having been there all too often before. Interesting how any honest poem can say something very different from another, just as honest, written a day earlier or later.

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. Â©
