I did like some of it, but I agree, it was a bit wordy and I had trouble staying focused through the middle of it...too much going on.
hmmmmm
I can't believe this drivel persists whilst my own work goes unappreciated.
How old are you? If you're like 12, this is a great poem. Good thoughts and I agree with your motivation for writing it, but it's painful. right fight right fight right fight right fight.
Thiers no such thing as a wrong opinion. Your obviously to stupid too realise you're own stupidity.
lol - so much religious reference on this site. It should be called holy poem ranker dot com...or some shit. lol
Original sin is original.
I appreciate your input, but you know, saying something isn't original is hardly original and really, what IS original? Everything we do has already been done in some form or fashion before...hmmm, seems like a poem in itself. haha.
Since this piece is merely a poetic reflection of Christian values, your score of 5/10 means you give Christianity 5/10.
I give Christianity 10/10.
oh man, I really like this one, I'll have to read more of yours
I agree that religion is an emotional decision, ?-Dave_Mysterious-?. But I also believe that people who disagree with Christianity are simply feeling wrong emotions. What do you think?
You can't try and rationalise it. Religion is more of an emotional decision.
beauty.
really really like it, just a little wordy in some parts for me
I spy wiv my lituwl eye that my favorite line begiiiiins wiiiiith
my ears were blind
which you pinched from Monty
You terrible cunt
Famished? Famished? What have you said!!??? We you dying from starvation? Hem? were you?
Otherwise This is my favoritist poem ever ever ever and should be everyone favoritist poem* ever ever ever since christmas is a lovely time and you have captured christmas rather well.
I once capture Father Christmas but that my dear is another kepel of fishwives althogether.
*Apart from the members of international Jewery who arn't allowed christmas because their noses won't fit in the mulled wine glasses
At least thats what God's wife once said.
I think
You obviously missed the point of my comment. I was not mocking Islam, although I do in fact think it is a very dangerous religion that presently threatens the world. I found it ironic that DA choose a Muslim as a victim of Christian condemnation. As for your claim that all religions "are right" I really find such thinking to be pure hog-wash. The Holy books of the worlds major religions are completely at odds with eachother both historically and theologically. For example, Christians claim Jesus to be the Christ..the incarnation of God. To muslims such thinking is blasphamy worthy of the most brutal punishment. True Muslims recognize Jesus as a prophit...but that's it. How on earth can both of these points of view be true?? Wake up and face the music!
On the preponderance of Good Christs
Time was when there was only one Good Christ
He'd pop up here and there
But thanks to you awful kepels
They're appearing from thin air
Good gods may proliferate
Its omnipresent after all
But the amount of soddin Jesus'
Good Christ it just appalls
I was shocked to see this poem. Shocked that anyone here besides me would know about Porcupine Lake, Dead Man's Point and the Great Fire.
I even posted a poem last week (now deleted) that referenced these. And to see a poem with this title...
I have often said to my old friends from South End that I want my ashes scattered at Dead Man's Point, on a night when the Northern Lights are snaking through the sky...
Aw, the memories of fishing for pike, running the trail, exploring the bush, with my Connaught Hill gang...
