    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!

    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 ...

    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.
