A Once Great Place Poem by Brandon Owens
A Once Great Place
I remember it as a dream so odd
The way the Mountain rose up high
It touched the faces of the gods
The ones that lived in the sky
They came down in merriment
Climbing to them we went
Attracted by their gift of laughter
We were never the same after
They filled us with divine insight
We hid our faces from their light
They asked if we would obey
The new laws that they gave
It was easy to see they knew best
So what could we say but of course yes
As they left we began crying
We knew that we were in fact lying
In our flesh we were eroding fast
How could such rules make us last
It proved too difficult of a task
And so they never came back
If you go looking for that Mountain
It's now corroded into lost sands
Never again will I see them on Zion
i pray that you would find in your heart where God really is and allow him to fix that once great place that has been shattered by the world. it's true, God is everywhere but never forget that his unselfish love rose in Zion where a true Shepperd that God had sent us was born.
That is a wonderful interpretation of the poem. The truth is that I don't believe we've been following God. I think we've made a mockery of all that he's given us, and I feel like religion has only accentuated our distance from him instead of bringing us closer. So I don't believe in being a sheep, because who is leading us? I think God showed the way, and we ignored him anyways, so why would he still guide us? His guidance is out there sure, but I am not going to try and find him on Zion, but in my heart, and in your heart, and in the heart of the world, the world of truth, not the shattered perspective of that truth.
you feel that your a victim of a false religion, im curious of their laws because it was said on your poem that you once loved it. faith goes with following the rules that you think is right there's no wrong about being a sheep, trusting the shepherd is more important. just trust God and he will never lead you to the wrong path.

i, like most on here, am not going to bark about getting back into hatver religion. I, myself, don't believe in any 'higher being', to each his own though. But i like this poem a lot because the focus on humanity is interesting. your writing is relatable and well put. Don't stop writing.
