Well written. Your poem revolves around feelings of despair, existential questioning, and the search for faith during difficult times. The poet grapples with feelings of abandonment and confusion, wondering about their purpose and the reasons behind their suffering. Yet a feeling that reflects a deep internal conflict and a yearning for reassurance and understanding, indicating a struggle between faith and doubt.

For those that don\'t understand who are narrow minded, that lack the ability to see beyond their nose then such stones are not stones but cow dung. Some can not see the diamond in the coal. Well written my friend

Righteous and raw — your words don’t flinch from the cost of truth.
Freedom never whispers; it shouts through the cracks you’ve carved here.

Perspective – the ability to know which battles are worth the pursuit, and which should be abandoned, because they aren’t worth a candle…….. wish I had that ability…..
Thanks Tristan.

Should you call it out? Will it make a difference if you do?
Does it affect others? Always a tough decision that can work one or both ways.
Some see it as duty, others can\'t live with themselves if they don\'t call it out.

Neither diminishment nor exaggeration serves in media, government, or conversation it destroys belief, trust, relationships. Leave it for fishermen. A fave

Well written. Your poem addresses themes of truth, freedom, and self-identity, exploring the tension between the desire for comfort and the necessity of confronting one\'s true self, even at the risk of facing challenges or rejection.

Perhaps only it\'s you who can write \"Litigious liturgies leave little room for grace.\" or \"Inclusive theology is only indecent to systems
Dominating the oppressed.\"
The poem conveyed a deep love for religion with a deep desparation to allow it to maintain the true human spirit.

Good write T. I sense that If I wrote a similar series, I would become judgemental. There\'s enough faults in myself - we could say \'in any one of their own self\'.
That\'s your poems and style, writing against \'religion\'. But I feel I would tend to be trying to take a speck out of someone\'s eye when there is a log in my own eye, as the saying goes.
Meanwhile - P has only one fault. What is it? Don\'t answer that! lol.

Well written. Your poem addresses issues of social and theological marginalization, including race, gender, and sexuality, and highlights the need for inclusive practices within religious contexts. It emphasizes the importance of grace, lament, and liberation in achieving a more equitable and just spiritual community. Yet your poem aims to challenge readers to reconsider their beliefs and practices regarding inclusivity in religion, urging a shift toward a more equitable and grace-filled approach. It seeks to confront the structures that perpetuate marginalization and promote a more comprehensive understanding of salvation and community.

Broken open, ground pushed into forms made from what was made to dispose of waste. Now trapped and exposed all at once we find what our enemies think. Wow! Such raw views of psychological vulnerability. Well done my friend

A strong feeling of hurt and pain. It speaks to my heart as I know this feeling so well today.❤️Your revolves around feelings of conflict, betrayal, and the anticipation of judgment. It delves into the complex relationship between self-perception and the perceptions held by others, particularly adversaries. My best friend so betrayed me. Hang in there, my friend.💕🌹💕

I found this poem very thought provoking. It brought to mind my unspoken thought:
We reside in a world which offers large dose of freedom: freedom to choose conformance or ruin.

Well said. Your poem explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the consequences of seeking acceptance in a rigidly defined moral or spiritual space. It suggests that entry into a ‘heavenly’ realm may require compromising one\'s integrity or identity.
