Your poem is a deeply moving and thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, violence, and the search for spiritual redemption. The consistent rhyme scheme, vivid imagery, and profound themes make it an engaging and compelling read. It captures the essence of the struggle between human tendencies towards violence and the quest for spiritual salvation with honesty and hope. Excellent work in conveying such significant and powerful themes through your poetry!
Having worked in prisons for 26 years I have seen my fair share of violence
Take care Roy

Violence usually leads to more violence. It's as old as mankind itself. This was quite a cautionary poem. Choosing to do something violent will keep you from seeing the light. Gretchen

Praise Jesus for He "seeks to walk in grace and love
and longs to make men whole." Because of His redemptive work for us we can be free from our fallen nature and violent ways.

Wow, Roy. Your poem has the rhythm straight down to the point. I got a chill down my spine after reading your poem. Alot of people are falling from God's grace and living with their evil ways. Hope you're well and had a good Thanksgiving. Great poem.

Your poem is to the point and I love its message. Of all the grief people feel, they can get hope in your last stanza.
Wonderful poem, Roy.

God granted us free will and with that came our egos. Our egos seem to be one of the worst faults we have. It gets us into so much trouble. But with God's help we can control our egos. Thank you for sharing your God given wisdom with us.

When God gave man free will and worst of all, an ego, God set off a path for mans destruction. God also gave us a brain to know good from evil, I takes a wise man to know the difference, A very thought provoking poem.
