i was sifting through my voluminous, yet tattered and disorganized book of poetry today, searching for one i had written in my morose and drug-laden days seven years ago. though, at the time it was penned, i had absolutely no concept of fundamentalism, christianity or any aspect of religion, in rediscovering it i found that it has a certain prophetic ring to it. in a strong sense, i have found it has encapsulated the whole walk away concept, and i thought that many of you might enjoy it and draw from it the same inferences that i had, and perhaps even comment on it, share some of your own poetry or prose and the like.WHERE'S MY CHURCHwritten June 3rd, 1996 by mistercyrano---#346Where's my church that I may buildfrom nothing but a soul fulfilled?Where's my bleak, unanswered callingthat couldn't be heard if the sky were falling?Where's my symbol of utter devotionthat I may bear through harsh emotion?Where's my bible to feed my mindof keen foresight, to which I'm blind?I walk this way to get me Where??? . . . .to my chruch that was never there.

There's no reason
There's no compromise
Changin' seasons
Livin the HI life
I don't know you
So don't freak on me
I can't control you
You're not my destiny
Straight OUT of LINE
I can't find a reason
Why I can't just stand by my way
Straight out of LINE
I don't need a reason
and you don't need to, don't need to lie to meeeeeee

WHERE'S MY CHURCH

written June 3rd, 1996 by mistercyrano---#346

Where's my church that I may build

from nothing but a soul fulfilled?

Where's my bleak, unanswered calling

that couldn't be heard if the sky were falling?

Where's my symbol of utter devotion

that I may bear through harsh emotion?

Where's my bible to feed my mind

of keen foresight, to which I'm blind?

I walk this way to get me Where??? . . . .

to my chruch that was never there.

You are a true artist.  I think my skill is sadly short of what is actually in my imagination.  So, without further apologies and a dream of improvement...I will proceed.  Since walking away, superstitions are less fearful, and my "demons" are really sanity trying to break free from the prisons religion put them in. 

Demon-Haunted Mind

All my doubts I crowded

Into a cave

At the back of my mind.

The fear of bigotry,

Hypocrisy

Insanity and its fruit

Dwelt in darkness.

Now a monster

Howls from deep

Within my cave

No longer will it live

In utter darkness

When my reason reared

Its ugly head, of horns

And fangs and

An arrow tail

Fierce, howling

It rushed my faith

Charged all dreams

Scraped and clawed

At all beliefs

And with angry, violent force

Penetrated my imagination

Only reality remained...

How easily he won.

--------------------------------------------------------------
love and peace,
Mishka

I'm not pretending this is any good, but its relevent.  Its also not finished, but I doubt I'll ever finish it, so waiting until I have seems pointless.

All that I can't leave behind.

All that I can't leave behind,
Leads to nightmares
And dark dreams,
Of demons, devils and lies.

All that I can't leave behind,
Gives pain and hurt,
Desertion,
Desperation and Solitude.

I'm alone in a crowd,
Alone in an embrace,
A world of my own,
Where I cling to myself.

The vestiges of a virtuous soul,
The remains of a personality,
Carefully hidden,
To ensure survival.

To ensure that on leaving,
All that I must leave behind
It is not abandoned.
And I can find a light
