When faith is an excuse
Its just a set of beliefs
Yet still you stand indignant
Ravenous for confirmation
Bound in endless reason
How and will you stand?
To be counted, judged.
Love alone forever
Beaten down, self torture
Faith is a blanket
the blind are led by it
I don't see it as weakness
Nay, stubbornness til the end
A miracle becomes your suit
Bent and corrupted
Translated for your own demise
Here I stand empty, with open arms.
Yet still you stand indignant
Ravenous for confirmation
Bound in endless reason
How and will you stand?
To be counted, judged.
Love alone forever
Beaten down, self torture
Faith is a blanket
the blind are led by it
I don't see it as weakness
Nay, stubbornness til the end
A miracle becomes your suit
Bent and corrupted
Translated for your own demise
Here I stand empty, with open arms.

Hi Jezabel,
Frank and real your poem I feel. Faith has the words If and at hidden inside it. Which may prove it is subjective and conditional to place (interior/exterior). Honesty is always the best policy and your honesty is strong.
Kind Regards

Hi Jezabel,
I have faith.... not the religious kind, but I believe in certain things,... like love,... joy... the tiny moments in life, that matter (to me anyway).
Stubborn and arbitrary for those things,... because I don't care for much else if they're not.

Richard - admittedly there are also some thing i believe in.
This was written in response to a variety of personal relationships i have, where for one reason or another the person acts irrationally. It started out as as pure ranting, but we all do this. Placate ourselves with our own beliefs. And rightly so, but every now and then its worth mentioning :)
