Advantages: my first poem

Disadvantages: my first poem

I have never written a poem
Not once ever
Even more in foreign tongue

Let a theme this solemn
Be my first endeavor
An offer to whom I belong

-----------------------------------------

Forgive us Lord,
for an idea so noble,
we made you look horrible.

You told us,
to administer justice,
yet we promote prejudice.

Forgive us Lord,
For we've replaced you with
flawed structure, symbol, and myth

Our love for rites
blinded us from your true might
that loves, despite

We worship certainty,
the need to substantiate,
had erode our faith

We've mistaken you for something else.
for a tower majestic,
while instead You are meek.

We've defended you
with arsenals of guns and swords,
while yours were simple words.

We offer you blood,
not ours but of others,
convinced that You'll be glad.

How we've failed to grasp,
the sacrifice You done had,
is far more than wine or bread.

Lord, teach us to imitate,
what You've tried initiate.
To love and not to hate.

-----------------------------------------

May this be a sincere prayer,
a shout of despair,
from my dirty lair.
