Hang Your Head in Shame

Fine write Tobani, organised religion is a farce. I used to be a believer in the Christian religion and was a Chaplain for a while. But when my wife started suffering from dementia it took he way down and she die from it, all her long life she had sung and praised the christian god but where was he when she needed him. I was singing in the choir at church one day when I came to the conclusion that organised religion was a fayce and it was like a weight was lifted from my mind, I still believe that there is a force out there that I call god but there is no longer any organisation that runs it.
May you god go with you Tobani.

Oh! You\'re a riot!!!! I love it! Almost as good as the one a joke book from too many years ago rendered. Awesome! Delightfully rendered with a haunting poignancy.

Where there are people the potential for abuse exists. Where people are amassed in power structures, the potential increases even more because the sins of the abusers in power get hidden in plain view from the masses, meaning many see it going on but are either brainwashed or feel powerless and silenced. Of course, silence should never be an option when it comes to witnessing abuse, otherwise you become complicit and an abuser of sorts yourself. All these thoughts, and much more, come to mind when reading this. I would add to your ending, and it is quite Biblical, that anyone who is to blame should not just hang their head in shame, but do so over the abyss with a millstone tied to their neck. Anyway, well done on this. A very strong statement. All abuse needs to be exposed and eradicated. Period. 🌹👏

And this is one of the reasons I am no fan of organized religion. It has been sickening what has occurred and what was hidden for so many years and is now known and is still ongoing. A tough read. So many little children suffered abuse at the hands of those who were trusted. Children’s homes too. A brave write Tobani and a very necessary one. Not an easy read, but an essential one. Wishing you a calm and peaceful Tuesday.

A powerful and daring write. It is ironic that sex is seen as something dirty and sin by religious people yet happens by those promoting religion to the weakest in their care. Not just in religion but all organizations, social settings, even the family it seems a human condition that is too painful to unearth in order to address. A most heart felt write.

No, not an easy read. And free moral agency is not something over the centuries that humanity has been able to achieve, attested too by the fact of child abuse and systemic cover ups.

It\'s a sweeping statement of me to say \'I blame the [Roman] Catholics\' who some see as an Antichrist, the \'Beast\' in Revelation in the New Testament. Yet they\'re not allowed to marry, by some stupid man-mad rule. We had a secret one near us, bring shame on the community.

Your poem \"Wise Man Says\" conveys wisdom through a series of aphorisms that challenge conventional beliefs about materialism, authority, and personal fulfillment. It emphasizes the importance of perception, contentment, and the dangers of greed and obedience without questioning.nicely done ,Poetic Licence
