caressed.
Plus, it'd be a lot better if you said "towelheads".
Headtowels sound very gay.

You suck emo boy... maybe that's what she got tired of, you know, the unstable sensitivity? EH? Maybe she wanted a guy with like, balls? Yeah, a tougher sort of guy who won't cry and be gentle when he fucks her. The sort of guy who'll grab her ass in a rough manner and ram his rod with a viciousness to match her wanting while talking dirty, calling her a little fucking WHORE.

that was a remarkable poem
At once I read it
it was gentle and plain
unwavering under whose cautious hand
against the the known intention in any hand
it was full of feelings that flow from line to another
to form the shape in the breast of the man

I don't understand this poem, but I like it. It has a uniqueness and a lyrical quality that makes it stand out from the crowd.
Good work!

I attended Stephen Hawking speaking on philosophy at Caltech recently, if you can call twitching his eyelid speaking. âNothing can be known except through science,â he said. And when someone asked what existed before the Bang, he said, âThat can never be known.â
Now we have the Higgs Field, a kind of universal molasses all particles slog through, if we can even describe them as particles. It replaces the ether that light used to flow though before we learned it did not exist.
My point is not âthe necessity of Religion [derived from] from the inevitability of Mystery.â Nor should we âmake up an explanation, or put faith in someone else's explanation.â I am not convinced that âif there is some grand scheme, some meaningful wider context to our actions, then any such scheme is unknowable.â
âWhat is easier to believe? That there was always something or that there was once nothing? ... Christianity says that creation has a beginning, middle and end. The Greeks claimed that creation is a timeless process. Both are correct. All that is created and is therefore individual has a beginning and an end; but there is no universal beginning and end.â John Fowles
âThis underlying unity of reality (God) is central ⦠the future of theology and our understanding of 'God', to explore the properties of this Space we all find ourselves existing in.â Geoff Haselhurst, Karene Howie at http://www.spaceandmotion.com/
âFrom his present dissatisfaction, man reasons that there was some catastrophic wreck in the past, before which he was happy; some golden age, some Garden of Eden. He also reasons that somewhere ahead lies a promised land, a land without conflict. Meanwhile, he is miserably en passage; this myth lies deeper than religious faith.â John Fowles

Where you go astray is in implying the necessity of Religion from the inevitability of Mystery. I can't explain why we're here, or how it all started. There are infinitely many things I don't understand-- science will explain some of them, but I know there are some things it will never explain.
Does that mean I should make up an explanation, or put my faith in someone else's (necessarily made-up) explanation? Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must hang our heads in shame. I don't know if the Universe was made by a God or a He-Man or a Gelatinous Cube or a Whatever. How could I know? How could anyone know?
My point is that even if there is some grand scheme, some meaningful wider context to our actions, then any such scheme is unknowable. What's left is the freedom to choose how we live our lives according to our own conscience. The christian religion offers a terrible explanation for why world is as we observe it (science is better), and constitutes an even worse basis for morality (your own conscience would be better). Even my stripped down characterisation - Christ dying for our sins so we can be saved and live in Paradise with Him - is a guffed-up abdication of responsibility. I'm going to dismiss it as such.
"... reality, human existence, is infinitely baffling. One gets one explanation - the Christian, the psychological, the scientific ... but always it gets burnt off like summer mist and a new landscape-explanation appears. He suggests that the one valid reality or principal for us lies in elutheria - freedom. Accept that man has the possibility of a limited freedom and that if this is so, he must be responsible for his actions. To be free (which means rejecting all the gods and political creeds and the rest) leaves one no choice but to act according to reason: that is, humanely to all humans." John Fowles

Your summary of the Faith in Paragraph 2 follows roughly the Apostle Paulâs development in Romans, and also teachings of the unknown writer of Hebrews, books with substantiated dates in the first century. Your assertion that the âfundamental tenet of Christianity is that Christ died on the cross for our sins so that we may be forgiven and go to Heavenâ fails only in the last word. Your inclusion of Heaven as a GOAL of Christians, well, you probably got it from some little hardshell Baptist town in Alabama. At least you are sticking, for the most part, to tenants of the faith and not arguing against some later additions to Jesusâ teachings, as most unbelievers do.
Where you go astray is in discrediting religion on principle, using arguments from enlightened secularism. Betelgeuse shines up there to humiliate all such reason. Small we are and small our thinking compared to Whoever put it there. I suggest rather comparing your summary of the Gospel to faith in atheism, agnosticism, a dried and painted goatâs head, or whatever. At some point, each of us surrenders to mystery, which appears to grow before us faster than science explains it. Mysteries we never saw seem attached to every scientific advance.

Ok, so some nutty morals got "stuck into" religion, but that doesn't mean we should throw the baby out with bathwater, right? I mean, just because parts of the Bible have been corrupted over the years by some random chumping clerics, that doesn't mean Jesus wasn't the son of God, right?
Actually, wrong. For all the insanity in the Bible, by far the most extraordinary claim is that a man called Jesus was born of a virgin, was the son of an omnipotent God, and died on the cross only to come back to life and appear (rather mysteriously) to some of his followers a few days later. If you hadn't heard any of that before, and I just told you it happened, you wouldn't believe me. Why? Because it's clearly absolute fucking bollocks. And here you have a book, written God-Knows-When by God-Knows-Who, full of claptrap (by your own admission), and yet when it claims the Ultimate Claptrap you say "No! that bit of ridiculousness is true, the 'do not eat bats' rest was written by a monk in the fourteenth century!"
Even if you take the Christ (duh) story in isolation, and treat it as some sort of moral lesson, it still gets us nowhere. The fundamental tenet of Christianity is that Christ (duh) died on the cross for our sins so that we may be forgiven and go to Heaven. Is it a good thing for an innocent man to heap all the injustice in the world on his own head, and pay for it via the medium of some obscene sacrifice? Does such an act absolve us in any way? Think about it. It's not justice: it's fourteenth century psychobabble.

I would suggest trying to take out 90% of the "he"s in the poem. Each time, try to find a different way to approach the line/stanza. For example:
"""
He takes off, exhilarated.
Cutting wind with feathery knives
only to rest after exhausting the morning's meal.
"""
The above is not quite right, but you can see what I'm getting at. Try to add more variation. Another thing. Usually you can find a better approach to emphasize a phrase without using punctuation. Instead of putting a word in CAPS, make the description (in lowercase) strong enough to evoke the emotion you want without caps.
Good poem!
