A Poem that I wrote for English
Faith
I stood above the earth
looking upon the sprawl of civilization
spread out was humanity
groping, struggling
choking, dying
striving, starving
they were blinded by faith, ravaged by ambition
I watched them throw themselves on the alter
murmuring their rationalizations
as the priest slit their throats
they lay there lifeless
dead as they had been at birth
praising the divine for their sacrifice
I went to join them
