Faith (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

Fire leaps at the sky, trying to lick every star it can reach. Does it not know itself? Is it not aware of it's earthly origin? Yet it refuses to quit jumping. Reach fire, reach! Leap away!

because that's how faith operates. no, strike that, make it 'that's how organized religion operates.' there. that's the frighteneing part. trying to surmount all that has power, so that it can control the faithful.

strive to write pieces that make people uncomfortable. "like" is immaterial. make them think instead. in mine, people like them because i seduce with sooth. but there are barbs aplenty in this thick skin, and if you touch, if you stray, you will find them.
showing the ugly side at the same time as the pretty side is tricky stuff, and you did it well. so, why apologize?
