true poetry

( like true religion )

Presents us with an image we can

BELIEVE IN !

//

in Christianity

We have an image of a body

Bruised
Beaten

Broken and ******

hanging

Helpless and Humiliated !

That when accepted as

Real and Necessary

Will SAVE US !

In poetry

We have the image of a body

( usually female )

Bruised !
Beaten !

****** !

Blood dripping from wrists !
Blood dripping from eyes !
Blood dripping from abused genitalia !

Helpless and Humiliated !

An image of Reality

That , when accepted

As necessary

Will save us

And make us human !

••••

If we would be SAFE

from the actions

True Consciousness

Might lead us to perform

We can choose

Either religion or poetry
( as exemplified by HP )

and avoid

Any acceptance

Of any form of

DANGEROUS RESPONSIBILITY
