Notes About The Poem
I include myself in this chastisement. I have tried to learn not to believe everything I'm told but to seek Truth for myself, asking for wisdom and guidance. I've learned the hard way that all people are fallible...So I only trust in the One who is infallible to lead me to understanding truth.
Chasening Truths
Baby birds
Tucked in warm pew-nests
Mouths agape to catch
masticated lies
Rather than growing
Mature enough to bake
The bread of life
Frightened animals
Leaving blinders on
So our blind leader
We can trust and believe
Rather than being
brave enough to look
At truths before unseen
Scorpion stung prey
Backbones turning to mush
With the poison venom of
What we want to hear
Rather than standing strong in
The boots and armor
Of Truth we should wear
