A poem I wrote...

I was assigned to write a chant poem in my poetry class this week, so here it is:

The Cow

You turn around and curse my name
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You strive to protect innocents with your strength
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You wage Holy war against infidels in the name of God
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You lay down your life in the name of peace
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You look at me with venomous eyes
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You rescue me from the raging flood of a swollen river
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
You lash out at me for being different
And God is not heedless of the things you do.
I take you in and give you shelter from the storm
And God is not heedless of the things you do.

" And God is not heedless of the things you do." With a title like that I thought the poem might have been about a more provocative subject like free will or social lies. Because of how nuetral the repeated line is, equally applied to the good and the bad, I figured the poem would have followed a progression - the start of the path of good intentions only to realize it is Hell when coming to the start again.

Still, more than adequate for a college level class and it should score you points with the anti-war crowd.

... Who says it's NOT controversial?

Just wait 'till people find out where I got the title and repeated line from.

I should point out that that's a draft exercise for poetry class (fourth-year university, at that), and I wrote it in ten minutes.

I love you, too, Gloria.

And, Crash might've stumbled upon my secret...
