POETRY CHURCH


Not to belittle the real Church of God 
Not to belittle the real benefits of communion 
Not to belittle kneeling and praying for a miracle 
Not to belittle the laying of hands 
Not to belittle a good bear hug 
Not to belittle the hope of Christ’s return 
Not to belittle the Wrath of God 
Not to belittle the trials and tribulations of living 
Not to belittle delusions of grandeur 
Not to belittle the pain I feel 
Not to belittle wars and rumors of wars 
Not to belittle Global warming 
Not to belittle the great I AM 
Not to belittle the prophets of the Ages 
Not to belittle Buddha’s nonthought philosophy 
Not to belittle fairies in the flowers 
Not to belittle the sounds that Whale’s make 
Not to belittle the awe of a perfect Sunrise or Sunset 
Not to belittle the Man in the Moon 
Not to belittle Black Holes, Quasars and the immensity of the Universe 
Not to belittle microorganisms and viruses 
Not to belittle the glorious honey bee’s make 
Not to belittle the missing books in the Bible that women wrote 
Not to belittle the tear that trickles down my left eye 
Not to belittle sin and its impact on the human soul 
Not to belittle other people’s pain 
Not to belittle our belief that aliens are real 
Not to belittle my cat’s purring 
Not to belittle my neighbor’s beautiful lawn 
Not to belittle Superstar's getting rich, they deserve it 
Not to belittle being just a pawn 
Not to belittle the atrocities committed by Man 
Not to belittle feeling so alone in the Universe 
Not to belittle the pheromones of truth 
Not to belittle that The End is always near 
Not to belittle truth from the mouth of babes 
Not to belittle Bhai's attempt to unite religions 
Not to belittle the Sufi’s dance 
Not to belittle the Witch’s brew 
Not to belittle the Medicine of the Drum 
Not to belittle my belief in Pan 
Not to belittle the Heavy Metal screams 
Not to belittle pipe dreams and cold sweats 
Not to belittle the glow worm’s glow 
Not to belittle the lion’s roar 
Not to belittle when the earth quakes 
Not to belittle when volcano’s blow 

Not to belittle my belittling thots
                                                but Poetry Church is all I got.

Not to Belittle Praying For a Miracle, but this hit me in my spirit because I just got on my knees to pray a position I hardly ever take in prayers. I love the flow and the message. Stay blessed.

Yes! all of your poetry exudes inclusiveness. Love this one in particular. Gutsy to stay with the repetition. Church is exactly where we sit when we tap into that stream of elusive consciousness and pray for the first word.

Hmmm? In my opinion, you should get a free membership for being Best New Poet there for a while. You should ask administration via email them.
