Conception found in the life of a mind
Prophecies found within my hand
Soul harvest has come to find
Humans consumed and deceived by land
Not only is everything sculpted
But also the faith in Him
Those who spend hours reading for granted
And spend hours writing in pen
For not in their hearts but in their mind they depend
Translating found in the book in my hand
Confusion sought to an aid of a man
Faith found in a building on land
Hallow crucifixes and stone raised on a stand
And here we are on our knees
Reciting praises and prayers to a priest
Censorship in the hands of the fake lords
Making everything seem like you should want more
And here we are confessing sins to a man
While he sits behind and smirks about his grand
Author notes
This is the first and only poem about religion I will probably write.I have nothing against Catholics or anything,I just don't believe in religion,but I do believe in God.Hey it's better to believe in something than in nothing.I called the poem man made because religion was made by man not God.

well I am Catholic and ya I may actually have to agree with you on this. But really we dont take everything from the bible literally and we know that the priest, pope, bishop and what not are not the ones that save us and give us repent, but rather it is God... and ya I dont really go to confession that much cuz I kinda think like you do... except theres more for me... I don't see how telling a priest out loud is different then just saying it im my mind... God will forgive me either way as long as I am truly sorry... this may not be the point you are trying to get across but thats how I read this. Anyway this was a great poem!! Keep on writing!

quite a good write...and it is very true...i would agree...though we are not decived by land...rather by man...for what person would want full realisation that all he/she knows is a lie...only the people that want the truth above all else....and that is very few
keep up the good work
