Religion Called Faith

Religion Called Faith

You use it as
a vehicle for guilt.

You fancy yourself a savior...
fashioned in his likeness.

Within it
you cannot save yourself.

You call sickness
"lack of faith."
The poor earthly heathen...

Though the faithful get sick
many times over.
And faith falls by the wayside.

He tells her:
She was the most faithful girl
that he ever knew.

She smiles wistfully.
She knew that girl.
She knew her well.

I love this! This offers lots of thoughts to ponder upon... The vagueness is intriguing, leaving the readers with their own interpretation of the poem. I love writings relating to religion or faith just as long as they don't seem "forced" or "trying hard". This one has a lovely approach. Very well-written! :)

I'm glad it didn't seem "forced." I don't like to get into the "us vs. them" religious debates. I think it's a little defeatist, no matter who you are or what you believe. Thanks for your review!
