Cecil Hickman Poet Terza Rima

No Extreme Faith

Extreme faith is not what our Lord desires.
Anger begets anger if you lend to bleed.
Destruction in the name of Heaven’s choirs,

There is no justification for any seed.
What treasure will be witnessed actually?
When will the bigotry end for any deed?

There are no holy wars to fight rationally.
Burning of any book is so horrendous.
Our faith is of love ever so exponentially.

Why would we want to become portentous?

Andrea Dietrich September 9, 2010 at 5:04 PM I take it this is about the recent event in the news. Very timely and full of wisdom. haha. Let's not talk about Luann. Luv, Andrea

Dr.Ram Mehta September 8, 2010 at 5:59 AM A nice write on the faith in Terza Rima form, Cecil

Susan Palli September 8, 2010 at 2:32 AM Exactly! The extremists will soon be silenced.

Carolyn Devonshire September 8, 2010 at 12:46 AM I hear you, Cecil. The extremists burn crosses, declare holy wars and engage in "witch hunts" to weed out those they deem less worthy. We may have to wait for Judgment Day to see an end to bigotry. Love, Carolyn
