Writer_Chick1213 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Does anyone else love poetry? Thats mostly what I write. so what are peoples favorite poems? mine is Invictus (unconquerable) by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.

toto Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ha Ha Ok! My poem speaks about how sad it makes me that my family doesn't see the truth of this church. My Mom and I are the only members, and one day I felt really bummed out thinking about what it would be like if they only knew. I want to be a writer so I hope this is ok quality. By the way I haven't revised it yet, so the rythm might be kind of weird. Here it is. It's called "If They Only Knew" I want to go back Go back where I come from Where we all come from I want to rejoice, I want to laugh I want to fly, fly away from all the pain And all the sorrow that this world rains I wish they knew I wish they all knew That there is a better way, a better place I wish they would listen Hear my words, see my face I wish they would open up their minds Their minds to the truth I wish they knew how much it breaks my heart Don't they know their tearing it apart If they only knew, we could all be happy If they only knew I pray he will take me Take me and my family Back Home where we are meant to be Someday, somehow They just might see What it takes to make him happy Help me Lord, help us all To live this life righteously So we may one day return back to thee I FIXED IT!

Writer_Chick1213 Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 That was really good toto! I find it so hard to write about religion. I've only ever written one poem on that subject... i might as well post it...i'm not to sure about it but what the heck...its about different people who saw the savior get crucified. (the last line doesn't quite seem right to me but i don't know what else to put) Jerusalem I watched that day in Jerusalem The whip devoured his precious flesh The ground drank of his redeeming blood The guilt rose inside of me like a flood I did not wield the hungry whip But I did not stand against it I was called to help him bear the wooden cross But my savior carried so much more than I He bore our sins and for them he did die He sweat and tears were one with mine He purified my mortal blood with his divine I was but a child in the crowd that day I cried as they took my beloved brother away My eyes met his as he passed me on the road I screamed to God “Why!” As he dragged his cross by Then a still small voice whispered to me “Because he love you, his dear sweet sister, now peace be.” I drove the nails into my Lord’s hands What I did, I did not understand Until the Son of God was almost dead And for my forgiveness he pled His Father’s tears fell from up above As Christ our savior showed his great love.

Eros Augustus Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 This isn't a poem. But I listen to this song before every boarding or assignment. Its by the band Drowning Pool; Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor!! Beaten, what for? Can't take much more One - Nothing wrong with me Two - Nothing wrong with me Three - Nothing wrong with me Four - Nothing wrong with me! One - Something's got to give Two - Something's got to give Three - Something's got to give Now!! Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Push me again This is the end Skin against skin, blood and bone You're all by yourself but you're not alone You wanted in and now you're here Driven by hate consumed by fear Let the bodies hit the floor Let the bodies hit the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eros Augustus Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 ..."Thus the true cause of the blessedness of the good angels is found to be this, that they cleave to Him who supremely is. And if we asked the cause of the misery of the bad, it occurs to us, and not unreasonably, that they are miserable because they have forsaken Him who supremely is, and have turned to themselves who have no such essence..."
