A Pastor's Cast-Aways
by Jeniffer Brand (Age: 38)
copyright 06-09-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Their lives are over, their souls they fly, but still their eyes I see.
They're not just old, but also young, their hearts are so empty.

So lost in time they roam around, confused and very scared.
Their hour on earth came to an end, for this they weren't prepared.

I feel their sadness, I feel their pain, they were lost while in their search.
How could this be and what went wrong, where was their little church?

A young girl showed, she said to me, "the pastor, he was mean."
"He took my heart, he took my soul, and no one heard me scream."

A man stepped out, his eyes so sad, and said he was chased away.
His pastor yelling "you are not worthy you're just a filthy stray!"

An older woman now comes to me, she tells me about her church.
Said she was the pastor, but learned nothing while sitting upon her perch.

Now, last but least, a teenage boy, just looking for the truth.
His pastor said "with your long hair, you're just a miss-fit youth."

I feel their souls, I feel their pain and I wonder where was God?
Who is the church to betray them so and to make them feel so odd?

The point was missed, the "Grace of God" they had no one there to teach.
With the pastor's rules on right and wrong he forgot who he was to reach.

Why are these souls so empty and alone I ask myself each day.
The grace of God is very simple, why can't we just show the way?

So many lives, so many people, just teach the grace of God.
Stop making rules and stipulations to make God look like a fraud!

The souls you missed, remember them and your petty do's and don'ts.
You cast them out, God won't forgive your cant's or your wont's.

Next time you preach or even teach about the word of God,
Make sure your ture about the True and make sure you're not the fraud!

So many lives, so many souls depend upon your teaching.
So if you don't get it and you can't see then you should just stop preaching!

A voice cries at the night, emotion explodes, hurt and pain, images push past message, a write that explodes, tripping past teaching, waiting and wanting response, yet little comes, ages and pages of many that have stopped before override thought, a write filled with edge, look forward to the next...

Very strong, very powerful, and quite meaningful. I like the characters that you brought out-- it gave your poem a certain validity in human terms, that might not have been there otherwise. It is a very coherent piece which is opened well, developed nicely, and closed appropriately. It is a work that every hypocrite should read, then look in their own mirror of judgment. On the technical, third line from the bottom the word "ture" does actually exist, but I doubt if you meant to apply it right there. I believe it's the third stanza from the bottom--the spelling of "cant's" and "wont's" don't need the apostrophe if you are showing plural form. Little things, granted, but still there. Will you be sharing more of your works, again, please?
