"A God We've Created"

Folder: 
Anger & Hurt

Pain must be honored.

Pain must be flattered.

It must be absolutely tittery with glee

  because of all the time that

is spent worshipping it,

praying to it,

and lighting incense

in our souls for it to give it praise.

We spark the tiny fires for it

  in the temples of our hearts

and worship it, while watching

the tiny flames dance and grow

and multiply into a raging,

all-consuming inferno.

But ha, who cares,

We love it.

Let it consume us.

And, in return,

Pain, Oh Great God of Pain,

We will make more room to praise you,

Even though you destroy us.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one when I was angry.  I think that we all have tendencies to let our pain eat away at us, all the while knowing that it is destroying us.

I Very much enjoy this poem. The perfect representation of anger growing from a spark, to a flame, to a raging inferno....Very real

We all feel the pain and that pain thats is stored up inside us is the only thing that can destroy us. Just let it go and the world will slowely change into Love
