Faith and Existence
This poem is of the form, "Decastich", although it is listed as, "Sonnet" because this form is not listed in the 'roll down' index
The saffron robed man sits in the street corner
surrounded by a paraphernalia of beads and esoteric items
Faith lures people to seek his wisdom on worldly problems
Is he a messenger of God? Can he tell the truth?
Relationships, love stand on the foundation of faith
When it cracks, the edifice falls apart
Blind faith leads to destructive acts
as the power of rational thinking becomes impotent
The world revolves on faith
We approach its end when faith is lost.
End
