Gods of Man's Vanity Demanding Intolerance

Gods Of Man's Vanity Demanding Intolerance


False realities fed to the masses
Another ghost ships sails the seas
Knowing not, yet their lie passes
Escaping truth's majestic pleas
God of vanity demands intolerance
Only its hate is to be displayed
Damn morals, into deeper ignorance
Silent servitude must then be paid
Love, always a great promised reward
Yet black evil roots firmly laid
In black garden in a devil's yard
Nobody sees the beast they ride
God of darkness their faith hides

R.J. Lindley
July 12th, 1978
( Fake Gods Lying)
( Rhyming acrostic)

Note: The one true God never lies, never
steals and never abandons his only Son.

wow,I came back to see an older acrostic poem of yours. This is outstanding, Robert. Sure hope you don't get too discouraged. Remember, my friend, I am a very busy lady and I devote so much time here to 'soup. Even with all that, my comment numbers are dwindling. it's just the times we live in. People don't seem to care as much as they used to. Try to think positive. there are those of us who appreciate poetry like yours.

I like this very much. A lot of talent was involved in each crisp, concise line. Way to go, Robert ... CayCay
