So I saw this video and wrote this.
I guess you can say Engle inspired me to stand up for Him.
Man "Of" God!?
Hey preacher
dude!
Yo man “of” God!?
Yeah you…
preaching your hate
disguised, as
love for Him.
Save your “self”
instead and leave
my soul and
others’ be.
I wonder what you
know of love?
Have you ever
felt the power of it?
The way it makes
the heart trip,
a pulse race, a
chest aglow?
I am sure you
have been loved before,
if only by one,
as we all have.
Yet you seem lost,
as if love is an illusion or
the property of
the chosen.
Love… straight or
queer, here or there
where you have drawn
religious lines in the sand,
Love is a magic you
seem to have forgotten.
Keep your judgment,
hate, or fear if you wish.
My love for you extends,
to hopes and
dreams that someday soon,
you save your “self”
instead and leave
my soul and others’
be.

Your poems always stir my emotions and I usually end up crying but this one was so intense because the video made me so angry and then I went on to read your wonderful poem. Thank you for your words. I wish everyone could read them. We need your words more in the world than anything that comes out of this dude's mouth!
ReplyDeleteThank you Golda.
ReplyDeleteDid you listen to me read it? What did you think of the technology. I know I should have read the poem slower but with practice I should get better.
God is Love! However you conceive Her to be!
ReplyDeleteGood one Delaina, I enjoyed that.
How do I become a 'Friend' instead of a 'Follower'? I may limp behind a bit with my walking stick but I never was much of a 'Follower'! We Taoists go our own bloody minded way! Perhaps that's why the Chinese called us 'Devils'.
Lovely to find you here.
Much Love ~ Res ♥
