Hi, a link on another thread made me wonder if anyone here has written any poetry about dubdom. Here is my contribution: a poem I wrote during a circuit assembly that I was absolutely hating. Tell me what you think (don't be too honest!)
'Faith'
A shallow pool
of crabs fighting
The tide goes out.
The waters lapping
Suck my toes
They suck my toes,
And my nose.
Hey, there's heaps more where that came from!
Suck what??????????? good one lolololol
I think I was in a Sylvia Plath phase!

LOL - don't worry, I wasn't planning to!
And I said not to be too honest - the main point was it was written during an assembly. I think poetry is a great tool to sometimes chrystallise what you're thinking. Anyway ...
btt - cos I'm interested in anyone else's stuff.
Servant
I sit at the meetings and stare at the floor
Mind numb, body sore
From the podium I hear
MORE! MORE! MORE!
To the field I go to beat on doors
All the while thinking
MORE! MORE! MORE!
Magazines I place in the hands of those
Whom I wish to convert
To the Glory of God
For they too are needed to give
MORE! MORE! MORE!
At home I sit and stare at the floor
Mind numb, body sore
I am my whore masters servant
I will serve no other
And walk the Watchtower road for evermore
This is a poem I wrote at an assembly when I was 15 and having doubts as a dub. Its cheesy and not very good, but whatever.
Ignorance
Swinging back and forth through time
a persons mood to fit a rhyme
as if to play an ancient curse
with reality in fact much worse
for in this stream of so called life
the placid love of kids and wife
will not conceive this lonely fear
and answer at last, why are we here?
if life is but a smily quest
to champion good work and rest
the truth, then, is plain to see
in ignorance and death
content we'll be.

Hi Jw83! so you live in australia cool! I live in Australia too!
I havn't written any poems about the jws but I have written songs though.
Ignorance
V.1
Mustn?t it hurt to forsake those you love?
When your faith tells you to.
Then you get discriminated for following your heart.
From people watching you from a tower.
Chorus
Heart bleeds as you separate yourself from the real world.
Your Soul cries for you to return to the ones you love.
Listen to the inner voice for it is the guardian spirit.
Don?t let your heart bleed anymore
V.2
Is this act of ignorance such a right thing?
Should you run away from those you love?
People bleed and scream for you, yet you continue to ignore them.
Can?t you hear your loved ones cry your name?
Why won?t you turn and look at their broken eyes?
Chorus
V.3
Turn back now and bandage up those hearts that bleed
Including your own.
Ignoring those you love is not just, so don?t do it to justify you.
Let the people be alone in the tower, for they misjudged everything.
