Hello all,

I found out a few years back, to my surprise, that I enjoyed writing poems and that some close friends thought they were not bad. I’ve even had a few put on a poetry web site lately. I started this one a bit ago thinking about all that has happened with Mark W. and his parents. I showed it to him on the “It was bad” thread and thought I would share it with the group as well, since it kind of exists because of the group. It is ok if you don’t like it, I just like to write them lol

Someone’s Little Boy

Where are our better angels
How did they become lost
When a child has to pretend
To be something they are not

Where did the love go
It was so clearly there
Shown in a million ways
Can it just disappear

They’re still the same person
They always seemed to be
The same one that was once
Bouncing on a knee

How did religion come
To stand for intolerance
Somehow I can’t imagine
It’s what God wanted us to be

How did we reach the point
Where doctrine determines love
Devotion masks fear
Of what we do not understand

Does it have to be
In all the Bible I do not recall
Jesus preaching hate
Rather than love and understanding

Continents and cultures apart
Is it any wonder
We call God by different names
And believe different things

Are we not still just people
Whatever we do behind closed doors
Or what we look like or believe
Still someone’s little boy
