[the first set of haikus I've ever written] Slaves to dead symbols- but they can decide which ones they would rather fear. Righteous and quite proud, keeping everything hidden- scared to be naked. The truth sets you free; salvation is denial- so forgive yourself. Faith: a sad excuse to be happily naive- wanting more control They need to save me- before I undermine them while they are timid. Forgiveness? No way, I have forgiven myself- don't need Jesus now!
