Make a stand Poem, by Aa Harvey, at My poetic side

Make a stand

What do you choose? Do you wish to make a choice?

And use your voice; nay, make a stand,

With a clenched fist hand and tell them your demands.

Or with a whispered whimper, will you fade away?

And lay in your grave; and finally, you pray,

To a God up above, who you never showed love,

Or devotion, or any emotion, except for resignation.

Help me God in my hour of need.

I promise I'll keep my promise to thee

And then when your life is peachy cream,

Your promises fade and become a part of the scene.

I say stick with your belief,

That their God does not exist.

Then maybe you'll be able to keep your dignity

And have no need to break any promise.

I agree, there is enough falseness in those who turn to god in times of need making pious promises only to abuse the situation in a more level headed time.
Far wiser to use prayer for the mind enhancing practice it surely is wherein the brain waves change pattern to a more logical sphere and a peace, acceptance and serenity overtake ones mind without any temporary unnecessary involvement of a god.

A point well made and nicely woven in your post.
