My Faith

When they ask me of my faith
Yoruba
you are my answer.
When asked who was the sky
Olorun
you are my answer.
When asked who ruled below
Olokun
you are my answer.
But still I spit,
I spit at those who are in disbelief,
spit at those treading on my feet,
they know nothing of me but my external front,
internally I am in peace, over is the Hunt.
Why should I explain, this bracelet on my wrist.
Why should I explain, how our ancestors concealed,
through the rain will be revealed
and in every day gone by,
they will always question why,
I chose not to just be led
force fed
a Christian Beef Burger of lies.
Slowly I grew to despise,
The way I had to believe in something before I was even born,
Looking back at all those Nativity plays I simply cringe and scorn.
I have found a faith that I feel is truly me,
A tradition that worships nature,
The ocean and the trees.
With this I am content, but I do not need to share…
If you find it uninteresting I can’t explain how much I do not care.

| I think you did a great job explaining how you feel in this poem. We all believe in something but it doesn't have to be just one God or even a God. We are human beings we are all indivduals (sorry if spelling is wrong) and thats what makes each of us great. keep up the good work! -Stace- |
