Yoni Dvorkis Poet Italian Sonnet

War of the Spirit

They live in mortal sin and shame
Between the lines of old and new
As us the righteous good and few
See infidels who aren't the same
How dare they question our belief
Eternal fire is prepared for
The devil and his angel scores
Who claim their brand of truth as chief

Our war is waged victorious
In time our vision shall prevail
Our purest essence, glorious
Barbarians are weak and frail
And we the meritorious
Will fight the battle tooth and nail

Yoni Dvorkis April 4, 2009 at 1:03 PM Mathew 5:11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." - Some things do actually come from Jesus. I believe 1 - 12 did. Revelations is another matter...

Nadia Shahwan April 4, 2009 at 12:46 PM It rhymes. Good poetry. May I suggest that you read Mathew 5:1-12. All the best.
