Debbie Guzzi Poet Sonnet

Call To the Golden Norm

With life and deeds, I fed the multitudes.
My gentleness goes forward yet remote.
My God, revered languishes without quote.
With life and deeds, I call for quietude.

Humanity lifts up my sheath, my form,
kneels down before objects of destruction,
kills to advance the cause of conversion.
With life and deeds, please follow golden norm.

Belief be not blind, subsist not malformed.
With life and deeds, I wish rememberance.
Replace the cross and worship not my death.
Raise high your face, humanity reborn.

Let the circle's shape form and be the test.
Let worship of my life be not my death.

Veronica Joseph November 24, 2009 at 8:24 AM wow that's shocking. For centuries people may have feared the cross as a means of punishment, but worship? I have not read of that in any study I have done. Loved and maybe worshiped who was god to their society? yes, because structure promotes culture, and within it, education promotes growth of belief over time.

Debbie Guzzi November 24, 2009 at 7:19 AM A GOOD life should be celebrated NOT a horrific death or sacrifice. LIFE is the FULL glass DEATH is the empty glass. We can chose where to invest our souls.

Debbie Guzzi November 24, 2009 at 7:17 AM crucifixion, hanging on a cross cross, widely used symbol. In various forms, it can be found in such diverse cultures as those of ancient India, Egypt, and pre-Columbian North America. In ancient times a method of capital punishment capital punishment, imposition of a penalty of death by the state. The Romans, who may have borrowed it from Carthage, reserved it for slaves and despised malefactors. They used it frequently, as in the civil wars and in putting down the Jewish opposition.
