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. New Note- Old poem edited to shorten.-removed verses of T O R U L E

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
