Silence of the Lamb
Will the silent choir refrain their praises
When the Rabbi echoes repeated phrases
While the lost recalled his previous teachings
Whispered in eloquent sermons of ancient preachings
Who has been listening to all The One can see?
While singing his names, their silence frightens me.
While followers prepare for the walking of the damned
With a gun, end the days of terror on the lamb
Was it justice took his life or revenge long delayed
When rejoice filled the night and everybody prayed
Who am I to judge the death that set us free
While praising the lamb, his silence frightens me
When the Rabbi echoes repeated phrases
While the lost recalled his previous teachings
Whispered in eloquent sermons of ancient preachings
Who has been listening to all The One can see?
While singing his names, their silence frightens me.
While followers prepare for the walking of the damned
With a gun, end the days of terror on the lamb
Was it justice took his life or revenge long delayed
When rejoice filled the night and everybody prayed
Who am I to judge the death that set us free
While praising the lamb, his silence frightens me

Actually, no it doesn't. Either he does not exist or he has been ignoring me all of my life. I haven't finish posting my poems on faith, but those alone will give you at least a hint that I have been forsaken.

Many people I know personally have had experiences that brought them faith or affirmed their faith. I have not. It is that simple for me. I have lived for 48 years and have had religion in one form or another since I was born. I have prayed and heard no answer, saw no saw or had any experience that gave me the slightest reason to believe, but still I search. I just do not accept the common response that all you have to do is ask Jesus or God for guidance because I have asked and no guidance was given. I will be posting more poems of faith this evening around 9:30pm before I leave for work. With only 2 poems every 8 hours and worked and sleep in between, I find it difficult to post as many as I would like within these time frames. I do try to mix it up a bit.
I have tremendous respect for people who have true faith. I have also met many who go through the motions of prayer and religious practice, but who do not live as they tell others to live. Hypocrites are everywhere. I won't pretend to follow a religion because I was born into a family that does or to pretend to be a devotee of a Guru I have met on several occasions and meditated with or follow ministers I have prayed with or a variety of others I have sought guidance from over the years. Most of them seemed honest and on the level, though some seemed like seekers of wealth and desires of the flesh they spoke out against.
I hope to find faith before I die, preferably a long time before I die, but as of yet, I simply have not. I don't know what it would take, I don't know if it will be an event or just a feeling that overcomes me, I only know I have wanted it for as long as I have been aware of it.
