Stones

Tell me those of you who stone

The words that drip from the poetic throne

While others who have knelt to sip

The liquid words spilt from it's lip

And those of you who pretend to be

Full of what you call 'christianity'

 My creativity can exist apart

These are the thoughts of my mind, my heart

A gift from 'God' you would dispute?

See no evil, hear no evil, become mute?

You believe then what you will

Place that garlic upon your sill

And ward off the thoughts that

haunt you still And

Pretend that you have never done

The very things you play among

OH, I have sinned in my time

I sought forgiveness

And it was mine

I cast no judgement , I bind no cord

I'm the meek, I not the Lord

Perfection, that's what I lack

I am no shepard, but a sheep in the pack

I know I am good, and I know I am kind

The more that I search, the more that I find

You tend to live in such denial and cast the first

Stone at anything vile

But deep down inside a thought or two lingers

Confused but delighted they open with fingers

Their book of interpretations so convenient at times

A justification for a dirty mind

    Very Well written. I really did enjoy this. It was well done and showed a great deal of depth. But I must ask you to put "I am wonderful" in your Author notes(AN) as per the rules. Thank you for sharing this and Good luck in the contest

    It's sad to see the same hypocricy in members of the church, as exists anywhere else. Unfortunately, noone is exempt of occasional highmindedness, some much more than others.

    It would do us well to remember Christ's words "let he who has no sin cast the first stone"
    Your words are well put.

    My favourite lines to this superb poem. It is very "in ya face" and very "unforgiving". I loved the snappyness of it.

    So rhythmical and flows beautifully. You have a very unique style, and I love how direct this poem is.

    righteous... so many are so and judge so many others, and in return they wear teflon and arrogance; so many wonderful places in this piece of your mind... i like it...PK

    Wow....I really see what you mean, this is very similar to my style, and cos of this, I really feel it. I feel the rhythm and the anger and the "speaking out" of this poem. It is very profound and really shouts out a message
