I usually hate sharing my poetry with the public. I often write to process an emotional or psychological response to something. I wrote this after watching the film, Crash. I wish I could do justice to the themes presented by creating a forum. This will have to do for now. **On a side note, the I can't get the formatting on this thing to work for me. Therefore, my poem is not spaced correctly! argh!
Hatred, resentment, and bitterness,
Years of unresolve and unforgiveness,
All justifiable and
Irrational.
Who shall removes us from these earthly chains
Out of grasp, beyond the reach of kindness and love?
A weak foundation can never be made sturdy.
Complete demolishment, and then
Fresh plans, restructured ideas to establish new infrastructure.
Buried past, hidden wounds
--for now.
Brushed, opened again
As skeletons pound their way out of the closet.
Who shall removes us from these earthly chains
Out of grasp, beyond the reach of kindness and love?
We each have a chapter in the story, a character to play
And a purpose to fulfill
In effort to further the cause
Or offer balms of healing.
To begin the process, one step
Yet the hardest.
Claiming responsibility,
And accepting fault.
To seek the good of others and all,
Above your own,
With no guarantee of success or
Restoration
O God,
We cry out for the Divine
To sweep it all away
In a tide of forgiveness.
