The more you scream
the less I hear
The more you insist
the more I resist
The more you demand
the less I comply
Your protestations, judgments
make me more accepting
Your damnation
makes me embrace the damned
Your profligate piety
leaves me revolted
Your smug certitude
makes me question all
No one knows
least of all, you
Faith
is a whisper from the soul
Shut your mouth
Perhaps you will hear.

Wonderful poem. I know the kind of religion that breeds resistance very well. Terrific write.
Fabulous piece... especially the ending.
dang. tight close on this...ha...perhaps if more listening and less talking was done we would...
Right on,Lola! Some people ought to realize the decorum expected in human dealings. Your verse is powerful. Great!
