THEY CAME AND TOOK US AWAY
BUT WHO WAS HE WHO LED US ASTRAY?
FOR WHEN A MAN LEAVES HIS CULTURE
HE BECOMES LIKE A VULTURE
WHEN A MAN ABADONS HIS GODS
THE GOD OF HIS FOREFATHERS
AND CALL THEM FOOLS
HE HIMSELF IS THE WORST FOOL
FOR A FOOL BEGETS NOTHING BUT A FOOL
FOR HE GROWS IN THE KNOWLEGE OF HIS FATHER
HE CALLS THEM "MERE WOODS"BUT WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE IN?
EMPTY HEAVENS?
IT TAKES THE WISE BUT A LITTLE TIME TO LEARN
BUT THE FOOL REMAINS BLIND TILL DEATH
HE THINKS HIMSELF THE WISEST
WHILE HE WALLOWS IN FOLLY
HE ASKS WHERE THE GODS NOT AROUND WHEN THEY BOUND AND TOOK US AWAY
BUT HE NEVER ASKS "WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS"
THE TRUTH LIES WITHIN HIS REACH BUT HE WONT EVER GRAB IT
WHY?
CAUSE THE TRUTH IS HIS WORST ENEMY
HE DETESTS TRUTH LIKE DEATH
HE BELIEVES IN A FOREIGN CULTURE
AND BOWS TO A FORIEGN GOD
YET WHEN ONE OF HIS FAMILIES DIES HE BURIES HIM IN THE WAY OF HIS FORFATHERS
HA! FOOLS INDEED

the poem is nice, but i thought you started it with rhymes why didnt you continue maybe next time if you can't cope with rhyming, you should go for free verse the poems talks about hyprocrites and i enjoyed it  |

Good, U are definitely on the right course, not only to fame, awards and fortune for being a good poet, but also for being what europeans in their self-sanctimonious nature will term, being a pagan
