Aversion

I cannot deny
onset of aversion
whenever I observe
religious dogma at play

why do we brandish our gods
attempting to save ‘sinners’
making it our life mission
I do find it annoying

belief is in mind
realisation is in heart
we can memorise scriptures 
or transform, becoming the light

Tom Woody Date: 8/6/2024 9:54:00 AM I see you've set yourself up as some sort of spiritual guru, the very thing you claim to detest you have become. By spreading your own version of "salvation" via your poetry or by other means you are no different than any other zealot. I've read enough of your poems to understand that for you, it has become your "life's mission." Personally, I have no problem with it. My mission is to continue to spread the good news of the kingdom of God to humble, honest, hungry hearts - Matthew 24:14 Login to Reply Unseeking Seeker Date: 8/6/2024 5:52:00 PM Be well, God bless!
