God is for the insane. Is this the poems message ??
I truly believe that people who believe in a god are mental. But aren't we all a bit.
Any vehement beliefs cause other people trouble. But if you believe your righteous......
The Christian god for example is not lovely and forgiving, as we're indoctrinated to believe.

If 'he' exist 'he's' as sick as the people who make him a reality.
On the poems.
Very different work than Saddleworth Moor. That was truly the best poem I've ever read. I don't know if some of that is coz I live on it for five years. But know one could capture that moors beauty and shame better.
There is it's other side of course. When you lie there on a still summer's day. The warmth on your face in complete silence except for the skylarks. But even then you can't forget what you know.
I enjoy this one less for beauty and more for it's thought provoking qualities. Of course its brilliantly constructed and flows with ease.
Well done again.
Hope scooter club and the lost boys gives way to saddlewoth moor.

It would be nice to think that they got along just fine and let one another sit in the sun for a turn.

Many of the conflicts around the world are caused by religious differences, but I suppose if there never was any religions we would have found something else to squabble about...so it might as well be religion.
Good one Alan.

Highly commendable in its spirit, The grubby overcoat is in fitting opposition to the highly elaborate concepts of the poem and grounds it. The idea of death on the physical level is always the last option in any spiritual considerations. The last two verses are spot on.
