Poem
I have written of love and romance someone passed a comment about being careful of false idols. This left burning questions within the mind and heart. Golden crucifixes, ornate statues, papal rings to be kissed are not these false idols, paintings adorn the walls, robes of elegance are worn for what purpose. Even the so called father of the church held in the respect of being no mortal man, to which he surely is. Why are woman forbidden to preach the word of the lord when in the past so many have and been sainted for it, it is not man's given right to put himself above all others. This church keeper of the ten commandments, throughout histories pages has broken everyone of them, persecution, torture, war, all heralded under Gods name by the church. Secrecy within the regime, the closed ranks of some papal inner cell, what lurks, celibacy such an unnatural form of life and living, how can a celibate man preach to me on the everyday ups and downs of married life when he has no real experience. Where is the compassion and humility in this church, the Lord gave words to alleviate suffering, the churches laws on contraception compound the misery of the third world masses, with AIDS and over population. It seems to me that through the ages the church has lost it way, remember Jesus died on a wooden cross for all mankind, all. Please do not think of me has an unbeliever for you would be so wrong, I live and love the path of the Carpenters son, I still love his word and his word was love.
