Faith is said to be:
Proclaimed and vowed
with solemnity
and enmity towards
evil and dastardliness
slashing swords
cutting and gutting
in the name of
eradication of
elimination of
the triumph of-- over
the banshee cry
the cannons roar
the rivers of righteous blood
flowing in freedom's stead
the dead deservedly so
for FAITH demands
... so it has been written
... so it has been screamed
I say:
Faith is an invisible feather
held in a humble
trembling hand
brushing a forehead's
fears with empathy
Faith is unspoken--
heraldry is eschewed
Faith is imbued
with colour
Faith bows so low
it reaches
the sky
Faith believes
good
is
