Best Doublethink Poems

  This Life

From a child taught Catholic creed,
drilled, drilled into me by school nuns;
those teachings will never recede,
but, since those days I have lived tons.

Spirituality, is life,
I found this on my long journey;
and when life stabs me with her knife,
I seek the deep green...

THIS LIFE
In childhood my mind was full of questions
What is true? Are my beliefs built on a lie?
Family tradition left no room for suggestions
My parents' religious practice, I dared not defy

Mass introduced me to kneeling hypocrites
those sinning with pleasure through the week
then confessed with unrepentant...

Revolving me around the sun as an elite on this earth my gift,

1. My life now’s not too spiritual although
I grew up Christian, for I do not go
to any church. I really do not care
about religion. I believe in prayer!
I talk to God and Know that He loves me,
but certain things I don’t take seriously.
Perhaps for that,...

This life
Raised with absolute values, rules and regulations
Questioning them constantly, expecting to be killed for it.
I pretend to believe, for my own sake, when I am a child.
As an adult, question things in Sunday School, and feel wrath of others.
Doublethink belief, I am a liberalism...

I
am
who I
am because
I was born here, where...
where Christianity rooted
and thrives, by insisting it is the true religion.
It is almost impossible to break away from that early religious training.

I
find
myself
living in
another culture
where I accept a new truth taught
which helps me make my way through this new, strange...

This life

Rituals we’re asked to follow
Seem to separate man from man
Something’s wrong, it seems so shallow
Sun shines upon all with elan

So we went to temple and mosque
Sikh gurudwara and the church
Favours from God, all in fear ask
Whilst carefree birds, on treetops perch 

Each affirms, their...

Doublethink belief, boon or bane
Environ conditions 
Know that map is not the terrain
Narrowness imprisons

Here, now ego decry
Begin, by asking ‘why’
Free like birds, in the sky

Let’s give soul relief
Doublethink belief

~~~

Doublethink belief, we’re reborn
Halfway across the world
Memory erased, beliefs shorn
Yet bubbling joy, unfurled

The same sun shines on...

This Life
Who would I be
 if I didn't believe in my Christianity?
This is my journey unplanned
 in the birthing of every child, every woman, every man.
Someone else, would be a dark, lost soul
 searching for something that can make them whole.
Is there a God in...

This life

In the dark alley of time 
My life stumbles in blunder pitfalls   
Uncertain future casts shadow of despair 
Plunges my essence in darkness of torment.

I search for the divine route of escape
Carved by faith in the precinct of the almighty
Configuring the elements...

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully. But the wisest course would be to be present in the present gratefully. - Maya Angelou

I gave my soul to Jesus Christ
The One and Only light...

Narrow belief systems,
speak of a wrathful God,
who will burn us in hell
if we question scriptures
or ring not temple’s bell.

Narrow belief systems,
preying on heart’s fears are
fundamentalistic;
a bundle of falsehood,
defied by the mystic.

Narrow belief systems,
warn of soul’s damnation
in case we don’t comply,
daring to so question,
what, when, who,...

Doublethink belief beginning 
With both hands folded 
God's name chanting 
Bells musically chorded

We have been taught
All are equal before almighty 
Keep clean thoughts 
No one else is more mighty 

Doublethink belief once again 
New identity new land
Past memories can't be regained 
Now praying with open...

This Life

Christ with His blood has purchased me
I’m saved by grace through faith
Chained by His love, I’m now set free
Doing as His Word saith

He is my Hope, the Cross, my stay
He’s washed me from all sins
He is the Truth, the Life, the Way
In Him, new...

Get uncertain, fast.
I remember some, not much.
Clovers sweet and sour

puckering my lips
for the zing of existence,
my sour sweet mouth

always wanting more.
Nimbus clouds float by above,
soon there will be rain.

I hate coming back
so many grieving people,
only I feel it.

On the porch at night
I sit thinking of...
