Would You Call Me God?.
Goldfinch60 said:

Your thought is so right Tobani. I used to be a Christian but whern myu wife suffered and died from dementia where was the Christian god. I came to the conclusion that organised religion is a farce, we all have our own beliefs in life and that is the way I now go with my positive ways.

Would You Call Me God?.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Actually, I would call you human! ๐Ÿคฃ Ever notice gods turn out to be as bad, if not worse, than we are? Then again, maybe that is because we write about them...therefore they are really projections of ourselves with superpowers. For me, that does not discount God existing, but it does make me open to differing views because I am not sure there is one right answer. It shows how little we really know in the end...and that is humbling. Great poem, my friend. Can\'t say there\'s a good answer, but valid questions for sure. Well done on this! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

Would You Call Me God?.
Doggerel Dave said:

Don\'t mind taking it to \'em do ya!
I really find it hard to add to that. But that\'s the mindset of people who are religious. I, as an atheistic agnostic find it impossible to understand their position. However, it is obvious that many folks find comfort in their what i consider to be erroneous beliefs, and if those beliefs help get them through life, then....
But if at any time their beliefs impinge on my own rights then screw \'em....

And if you tell me to have a lovely weekend, I\'ll find ya and have a quiet word.....๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ™ƒ

arqios said:

There are names we whisper with hope, placing faith in unseen hands. Yet silence lingers, wars rage, and prayers dissolve into emptiness If love is spoken but never felt, if mercy remains untouched, then devotion alone cannot lift the weight that suffering leaves behind. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Mottakeenur Rehman said:

A piercing critique of divine hypocrisyโ€”your words unmask the silence of the claimed almighty. Power, not mercy, wears the crown in this bold revelation.

Would You Call Me God?.
sorenbarrett said:

Harsh and to the point a powerful write that speaks with anger and disgust at what many see as God. Well constructed in question form it places the burden back on the reader to answer such questions that seemingly have only one answer. How can anyone worship such a god. But we do and have to ask why do we. Very nicely written.

A great poem.Made me think about God and whether he exists.At what point of suffering does God help.Never in my case.

Strong words. And very relatable. God is too often too inhumane, although they say we were made \"in the image and likeness\"

Look In The Mirror.
Caring dove said:

Good poem . I think mirrors can be difficult to look into sometimes

I think they can show us how we might be feeling / what we donโ€™t like etc

Sometimes I see a stranger in the mirror ..

Tristan Robert Lange said:

NO. Yes. Yes and No. Both/and, as well as neither, depending. My self-esteem and self-image has been a struggle for me all of my life. Powerful and probing poem that asks a tough, but important question. Wonderful job, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

A most reflective write Tobani lol Never the less it has always bothered me that I see neither in that the image is changed left to right and I suppose that fraction of milli-milli second that it takes for the light to get from the mirror to my eye it is what I used to be. Always loved thought provoking poems and this was one cleverly done.

Your words reflect the timeless dance between past and presentโ€”deeply moving. A mirror indeed reveals more than the eye can see.

Not sure if keeping all that grief suppressed is a good thing. Why no tears? You are allowed.

How Does it Feel?.
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow! A powerful poem, Natiella! You and I clearly had the same way of processing the shit we dealt with at school. Glad for it too. This one hit home for me, being someone who was brutally bullied. Thank you for sharing. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

Well this is quite heart breaking. A mournful cry of a broken heart.Very powerful

In My Heart I Cry.
sorenbarrett said:

A broken heart can only be seen through its symptoms of tears, lethargy and facial features. Like a fever revealing an infection it needs attention. An excellent metaphor and nicely written.

There were some bully boys at my schools but they got there comeuppance in time. Good words and memories Tobani.
