I have a really weird feeling like something big has changed ,
my savior is blood guilty ,
and this sinner is now a saint .
Received the bad news this morning ,
that nothings quite the way its been ,
the chosen are the fallen ,
and the doorway is the sin .
Father is out to kill me ,
I am already among the dead ,
I will be one of the many innocent ,
who’s life blood has been shed .
The beauty of the evil
lies is the closeness of the kin ,
stab the father and mother because of the greatness of their sin .
Anger is my water and the burden is my bread ,
I stair into the faces and behold the lively dead.
Narrow is their roadway and cramped they find release ,
for they are happy in the work they are given ,
bringing disciples to the beast .
His name is now three sixes ,
and his coat is stained in blood ,
still they choose to remain and worship this just and loving God .
Some say I'm guilty , Dubs say I will rot...

NWS,
I really, really, liked your poem (too bad I hadn't read it yet when you dropped into chat).
A post only goes to the top of the ACTIVE forum now, after each reply is posted. On the main, it remains in chronological order of posting, most recent at the top. (Simon's recent tweaks.)
Your poem seems to touch on the disillusionment we all feel when we realize that the unity and love we thought we had found in the Watchtower Society was bogus. True love lacking, and unity the confused synonym for uniformity.
Tell me, do you feel differently after the events of Sept. 11th?

I like this, and normally my reaction to poetry is 'Oh... god...', and having finished a couple of years of Eng Lit, that's a fairly informed opinion.
I do think it scans more like a song, you know, NIN, MArylin MAnson kind of thing...
