poems

the other night i was lying in bed and some thoughts for new poems started flowing through my head so i wrote them down. this is just the rough draft but let me know what you think

this first one is a non christian talking to God about they way he views christians

God,
Is it true?
Is it true what they say?
They tell me all i need to do
is bring it to you.
They say you will forgive me
and that you died for me.
They talk about how they follow you
and strive to be just like you.
But the things the say
and the things they do?

They say that you love the whole earth
Yet they love just a select few
The say you walked with the outcast
Yet they turn them away
They tell about how you always prayed to your father
Yet they gossip about each other

God, Do you see what i am trying to say
If they won't truly strive to follow you
Why should i when i don't even believe


this next is about the way the church doesn't love

Love Thy Neighbor
Love me
Can you follow that command
Is it just that simple
Well lets just see

Let me tell you about me
I am a drug addict
I am a sex offender
I am gay
I am fallen

I am a deadbeat dad
I am an alcohlic
I am a pedophile
I am human

I am homeless
I am a drug dealer
I am a prostittute
I am a sinner

I am the person sitting across the pew
I am that guy that raped your daughter
I am that women that took your husband from you
I am forgiven
I am your neighbor
I am loved by jesus
Am i still loved by you

let me know your thoughts
