FAITH WITHOUT HOPE - OR CHARITY this is a second posting

You don't have to understand,

that's what they said.

Just believe, have faith,

don't doubt the things

that God has planned. 

                                        that's what they said.

 

You are blessed,

faith is a gift

given to a a chosen few,

it's up to you

to make the best of it.

                                        That's what they said.

 

Humility is good,

as are obedience and servitutude,

don't look for reasons 

or question God,

maintain a lowly attitude.

                                        That's what they said.

 

Women are born to suffer,

that's you calling,

Replenishing good breeding stock

what could be more rewarding?

God demands your body,

your heart and mind are His,

you'll be rewarded for your labours

                              when your dead,

                                         That's what they said.

Thank you Uilleam - I don't think that love was important - ownership was the aim.
thank you for reading and for your comment I greatly appreciate it.

"Women are born to suffer"....those are not the words of a loving God, but of men who know nowt about owt!

This poem was written some years ago when I was disturbed about the unfairness of it all and how it had affected my perception of myself - I have bounced back since but cannot shake off the anger and it would appear that I am not alone.

Thank you for reading Nigel, RBK, hugh, and Stephen G. and A.

also Aisha, Larisa, K.Lynn, Helene, and Naomi.

such a big bunch of flowers - I value your support.

Graham, thank you. Your words are so true. I have my own set of values that are meaningful to me and do not harm anyone.

Having faith is a wonderful thing. It's what you have faith in that matters. Certainly not religion
