Heresy, Terrorism and What Won't Bounce The time of man on earth can be counted as are the beads of a rosary, passing one little grain of sand at a time through Faith's hour glass. The pain deceived into numbness that our deeds are not deposited in the blood of others. The instrument of our self-deceit is the labor we impose on words, twisting them into dangling moments of apprehension to empty them of precision. But we lose the revelation too. Trading God's Blessings for the blasphemed power of speaking for Him. |
Additional Notes:
The full title of this is, Heresy, Terrorism and What Won't Bounce Off
the Ground From Ten Thousand Feet Up. What provoked this, more than
anything else, is the President of Iran admittedly purging the Universities
in his nation of "secular" professors. That means, to be brief, of any
without his mindset. To be accurate with the language, the word university
should then be changed to, hatchery.

Hi James....many wisdoms in this poem. Comparing our time on earth with beads of a rosary and passing one grain of sand at a time through faith's hour glass is brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? Your talent far surpasses that of anyone else currently posting here. The remaining lines of your poem are superb, as well and even though you wrote it due to actions of the President of Iran it could apply to so many other things...making it timeless. I am wondering how much longer TPL can hang on until Chris pulls the plug? Only 8 poems have been posted and it is almost the middle of the month and so few critiques...hardly makes it worth the effort. Anyway thanks for this poem. I hope you are posting your work on other sites as you should have a large audience.
Cheers....Marilyn
