Faith's Derivation (poem)

This is a modern sonnet written with a Petrarchan rhyme scheme.



When I do think of tender desire,
I ponder faith and what it does imply.
Is it blissful belief boiled in brine, my
salty taste buds would have me inquire,
that make a long hike for a holy crier
worth worn souls and torn skin? This bloody
pursuit to Eden troubles the mind, unsteady,
from lack of reason that faith will lift higher.
A mind of logic, not lazy consort to God,
would willfully subject to findings of reason
but will woefully not be spared the "rod."
The arcane bolt never thrown for treason;
cast aside by the tumultuous mob,
who instead slam a hammer at logic and reason.

  1. Do you wish there was more belief in religion? Are you meddling with the idea or is it worry?
    Youre saying there is a relationship between faith and what call reality ?
    Are you tired of logic and reason?

  2. Religion is a complicated idea for me. I very rarely see it work well. I'm asking more people to use logic and reason.
