Cheyenne Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 A lamb slaughtered Blood filling the land A government in terror As God lends a hand For where there is a will There is always a way The people rejoice Miracles happen everyday He will go on his pilgrimage That is why he is here To lead a people to freedom To show we have nothing to fear His Father gave him to us To cleanse away our sins He doesn’t really want to die But in this way everyone wins He knows that we are human Brothers and sisters in a war To fight the face of evil To wipe it from our shore He lives all around us In our hearts and in our minds Trying to save us from ourselves One or two at a time If you ever need to hear from him Open yourself up inside He is waiting right beside you He is not one to hide He will show you the way All you need to do is ask You see he loves all of us We are his one and only task
Peredhil Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Heh, You know, we have some incredibly talented people here at the Pen. And mature as well. Where so many sites bog down in flame fests over differences, here we use them as springboards for creativity. I'm pretty proud, right now, to be a member of the Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Oh, Cheyenne - A well-written poem, nice meter. One of my favorite subjects as well. You already know that I love/love ya. -Peredhil
Sorciere Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Another different view of a religion, well written, good job!
Salinye Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I liked it a lot, Chey! Although, it's easy to like something written about something so important to me. :0) (Yes, I'm a bit bias) Thank you for sharing. :0) ~Salinye
Parmenion Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 /me scampers off to think of a retort poem Glad someone wrote about the other side. Nice job and...touché
Cheyenne Posted May 26, 2003 Author Report Posted May 26, 2003 Thank you, Parmenion and of course everyone else as well. I hope that you all enjoyed it.
Hot Soup Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 Wow. I must confess that I was a bit hesistant about clicking on the post when I saw the subject line. It was not what I expected but I thought it was well done and I enjoyed it. Good work.
Illianna Wolfsong Posted June 10, 2003 Report Posted June 10, 2003 (edited) Hmmmmmm... Religion... A topic I tend to avoid as a general rule. I neither want to offend anyone, nor do I want to politely swallow something being thrust at me. Oddly enough with a rare few people, it is a subject I very much enjoy debating. All that aside, I was very impressed with the poem... well written, passion-filled, and melodic. Excellent job, Cheyenne. You have created a very masterful work that richly expresses your beliefs without threatening those of anyone else. (At least I would not view any of it as threatening. ) That is quite an accomplisment. Edited June 10, 2003 by Illianna Wolfsong
