Letter of the Un-forgiven.

A study of those blind to faith and reason.

Slated stone crushed under a worn foot,

 walking lands as arcane to travelling new,

Poised plants sully the roads of old,

 doctors failed those praying on few.

Tattered houses align a single mile,

 discussions hushed and silence the young,

Broken memories kill the very heart,

 the old women with a woven and vinyl tongue.

A low rise hill holds the death of saints,

 women mourn and cry tears for all,

Pictured captured in scenes slackened,

 more hopes are needed to reach the tall.

Failed fears of children scream loose,

 bright stars have fallen on those men,

A door held open for and by the divine,

 Simple thoughts are key in time ten.

Author's Note

Read and re-read at your will, it is a new style and a new look at an old theme.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I'm not sure, but I may have noticed some minor errors within the piece, but regardless I think I got the jist of this after a couple of reads. IMHO, I think their are more people way too open to faith and reason, and bring religiousness a little too far and insane...while others dont have enough. Not sure if I'm making sense, religion is a touchy subject but I thought this was a great write.

Words to ponder indeed! Great job~

One hell of a good piece, Thomas.

Religion is a complex thing for reality. Too much can make people crazy, too little and people have nothing to believe when it comes to morality and good nature of a human being, from what i believe. Strong, intense words. Nicely done.

To be put in my library so I can re-read it at my leisure. Loved it the first time through, but I know there's so much more waiting for me beneath the surface. The flow of the piece is impeccible.

there's a rumble beneath this which i really enjoy, it sort of embeds glass in skin through reading... a side effect i'm willing to endure.
