Half Truths

by Jennifer Ragan

Half truths twisted
strangling your words
as lies flow
Like eddies
spiraling into your
distorted reality
In your hollowed liar
of persecution
and Christian values
you plot
using God
guilt and family
as a weapon
destroying those
you say you love
and blaming them
for your
destruction

Most of us look outside ourselves to see the "cause" or "reason" for our problems. When good things happen we frequently take credit for takes place. Rarely do we look realistically at the issue.

Darker than I'm used to from you, but still a great read

Tragic when religion is used to "beat" others into submission or to make excuses for ourselves! You make the point forcefully!
