Just a poem I wrote just now questioning my faith….so many questions. Maybe some will have an answer before I have to leave this earth….
Questioning My Faith
Such a change inside my soul
Unsure how it got there
Maybe because I’ve grown old
Or the judgmental stare….
It’s not that I don’t believe
Don’t misunderstand my words
I keep my faith in my heart
A prayer upon my lips …
What I really meant to say
Is hard, in fact, to articulate
I understand the words
I don’t understand the hate
As a human race, we must see
The pain we cause each other
Does no good to the cause
What on earth is the cause?
From a voice so soft
A touch so sincere
Don’t let your hate
Outweigh your love….
Turn on the news
Humans being blown up
Babies being hurt
Animals being tortured…..
In the name of what exactly?
A bright sign says a contradiction…
Disagreeing with my morals
“God Hates You”
In the name of God,
He’s gonna cut you down
Throw you in a lake
Surrounded by fire
I wasn’t taught this…
In the name of religion
This is what I see…
Don’t talk about that though….
Why can’t I talk about it?
You surely wonder now….
Sadly, the stone is cast at me…
How dare I question such things?
So, you see, I put no stock
In this thing called religion
I put my stock in a deity
Stronger than I am …
I hope and try to hold on
For that’s one of the gifts
He sent us from above
That He does love us…
How can God really hate?
He created us, after all
Surely, there’s some mistake
And my faith isn’t fallen…
I truly hope deep inside
That my faith won’t break
And God loves us all…
Faith, hope, and love….
