You would've thought as I did,
that when Jesus started walking waterbourne,
he'd have the decency to drag someone back to shore,
help me out a little.
Does grief give us delusions that blind us,
and we merely see the peripheral view,
so we ignore the path, the plan, that the all-mighty painted before us?
Or is it just
that the faithful, the "disilluded",
are actually blind without red spectacles?
Cross me off the list,
life has crowned me too many times.
I drag my weight, bound to this woe,
by faith, as hopeful fantasies are bled out by the sting of reality.
Hoist me up to high heaven,
so I can holler out all holy hell for the above.
Made in his image, that explains alot.
Why we bleed and are left unhealed,
why lips that sadistically snicker aren't sealed,
the true origin of original sin,
and why the peripheral protagonist will never win.

a poem about loss of faith in god, jesus and christianity, whether it's through life generally wearing you down, or one cataclysmic moment that causes enragement and unbearable grief (i.e. loss of a loved one).
never happened to me, never lost faith, never had it to begin with. anyone whose offened by this, my apologies, its just taken from a viewpoint of a hypothetical person who has lost faith.
ps "crowned" is meant (in one sense if you choose to interpret it in this way) as in "im gonna crown you" as in hit with severity, didnt know if everyone would get it, think its an idiom... i think
pps yes, "disilluded" is now a word, it means without illusions or illusions have been expelled from them, basically the opposite of illuded. you'll notice how its put in speech marks to emphasize the fact that its made up, representing the stupidity of those faithful in the faithlesses eyes, but also shows irony, that they are illuded that they're disilluded. (sorry for interpreting that myself, i should be leaving it to the readers)
