Here

Yet another Slam Poem. I'm on a roll. I really like this one.

HERE.

Copyright Jenny-Jen-Jen 2009

 

Give me your eyes.

Let me see through your eyes

So this tainted vision of love might

Be clear again.

Please, halt my cries.

All these words I hear are lies

But you are my everlasting truth.

You promised me life

Yet you are not Christ.

Jesus is just a figure that

Others run to.

But, I don’t live that life of fear.

Take my eyes.

You won’t find a tear

Because I am here

And very much alive.

Each day, I may fall

But I won’t break.

I’ll keep standing tall

As we walk through this world together.

So take my hand.

Maybe then you’ll understand

That we can

Make it to a better tomorrow.

Just give me your ears.

Listen to the words

And hear.

Hear the words and make life

Better… here.

I like the desire of this poem. Wanting to know honest and truthful emotion of care and love. Each line making the poem stronger. I enjoyed reading the complete poem. Last line is fact. We need people to make our world better. Not worst. A excellent poem.

This is a great poem. What I got from it is live this life now, worry about tyhe next one when an if it comes. Too many people have wasted and are wasting their lives worrying about what comes after it. Great poem.

this is an awsome poem and shows exactly what haeppens when religion is
forced upon another, and you express why its important to be able to
develope a belief system without the interference of those who think
they have a better outlook, a very wise and understanding poem.
