Hi Debbie,
If I can say this with out sounding smug, I see it was meant
to have anger and hate we are human beings, do you expect us not to have these
emotions, and not to speak out when we see such injustices such as religion and
what it has done and is doing to the world.
Do you think as poets we should some how be above that,
above being human, I very much understand the pull towards religion, I was
once there, when my eyes were opened and I saw religion as it really
is, I could only feel hate and anger.
It is a difficult thing to state your case on this subject
with out stepping on toes, but that's just the way it is, when you feel so
strongly about something, you express it.
In my point of view the poem worked, it could use a few tucks
her and there, it is certainly not stillborn.
Best
Rob

I see this more as an angry declaration.
Its one thing not to believe
in someone or something, its another to be
angry or hateful to
someone or something. I showed this to a friiend of
mine and he
said and I quote "Yeouch!" We placed a bet that this was
directed at
the Catholic Church or someone who belongs to the CC.
