So I have kind of gotten into writing poems since I have been taking this Introduction to Poetry Writing Course. It has been cool to see how a class that is mostly female "art types" respond to my poems about faith (not to be stereotypical, but ... honesty and brevity).
Here is a poem I was inspired to write while at North Florida InterVarsity's Spring Conference.
Here is a poem I was inspired to write while at North Florida InterVarsity's Spring Conference.
Abandon All Hope
Ye who enter here, it says on those other gates.
Abandon the hope of this world
He says to us here.
Abandon your chest of desires
And have no more angst.
Division, be gone!
Soldiers, to arms!
Abandon the dreams
Of a selfish past.
We fight,
We battle,
An enemy without flesh or blood.
The victory is ours!
So stay and be courageous.
For true life only exists in abandonment.
