This is a poem I wrote last night in my boredom. Please tell me what you think.


Disappear.


As I look around me I see despair.
I wonder if anyone could care.
Before me I see what is yet to come.
Behind me I see all the things I've done.

I have no clue as to where I am.
People keep talkign about this "Lamb"
They all looked around in fear.
And asked each other why their here.

We were all formed in one line.
Though it looked long it took no time.
A man with a book sat there.
He beckoned me to come here.

His eye's were filled with sorrow.
He told me "For you, there is no tomorrow."
"Why did you not, listen to me?"
" I died and rose, just for thee."

"For your sins I paid the price."
"I made the biggest sacrifice."
"I loved you with all my heart."
"But now its time for you to depart."

"Into the firey pits of hell."
"Is forever where you will dwell."
"You had your chance and it you missed."
"To ask me for your forgiveness."

"Have mercy on me God! Please!"
I said as I fell to my knee's
He looked at me with those sad eye's
And I knew it was time for my demise.

Two angels came and dragged me away.
I cried out, but He looked away
I can smell the sulfur and brimstone.
This will be my new home.

They threw me into the pit.
And I knew that this was it.
A firey burning sensation
Is all I feel in my condemnation.

My last thoughts were of you.
Of what you didn't do.
You didn't tell me about hell.
This place where I must dwell.

You didn't tell me about the savior.
Who could've saved me from this danger.
He was crucified but rose again.
He paid the price for MY sin.

Three steps is all it takes
To be with Christ for all life's sakes
Admitting your sin is the first one.
Then believe He was the perfect One.

Confess him as your savior
Then you will be with him forever
So simple are these step's to do
But I never knew thanks to you.

Eternal suffering is for me.
Because of your Hypocracy
I can't wait for you to disappear.
P.S.... wish you were here.....

That's probably because of the religious aspect. Atheists would most likely dislike it, and be afraid to voice their opinions so as not to appear rude. At least, that's the way it is with me. Although, I thought the last line was genius.

Too Christian for my tastes, but it is well-written.

My taste for literature comes before my opinions of religion. Come on, why should opinions go into art? I'm not evil like that :P

The cool thing about poems is that the really good ones get put into song. This is songable ~~

The flow of the poem is a bit spotty. Poetry has to have a distinct flow or lack of flow, and I'm not really feeling that here. Some of the stanzas feel disjointed.

I agree with Alt. Some syllables on the stanzas weren't working together. I like your use of words though.

Too Christian for my tastes(being an agnostic) and it's kind of hard to ignore the extreme Christian influences and whatnot, but as a poem it's pretty good, albeit it falls out of rhythm a few times. I especially liked the last line. But, I, being a Grammar Nazi, have found a few errors that I would like to point out, so you can fix them. =)

People keep talkign about this "Lamb"

Talking typo, lamb shouldn't be capitalized.
And asked each other why their here.

Should be they're, not their.
"But now its time for you to depart."

Should have an apostrophe; like this: "it's".
"Into the firey pits of hell."
A firey burning sensation

Fiery, not firey.
I said as I fell to my knee's
He looked at me with those sad eye's
So simple are these step's to do

No apostrophes are needed here; take them away.
Admitting your sin is the first one.
Then believe He was the perfect One

Not really a mistake, but just wanted to point out that you rhymed "one" with "one". Lol.
Because of your Hypocracy

Hypocrisy, not hypocracy.
And now that I'm done pointing out all that, my final conclusion.
The grammatical errors didn't affect it negatively as much as the unavoidable religious message in it. It's good poetry, but it is honestly very distasteful for agnostics and atheists. You're good; maybe you could write another poem, one that doesn't force religion into itself as much.

No, Ernie and Moat think alike. XP

Also, don't even try to keep this thread on topic without MOAR ARTZ!!! because this is the art forum and the art forum is a churning mass of offtopicness.
