"A Warning To The Unrequited"

“A Warning To The Unrequitedâ€
With your doubt, all is comfort
We are all as we appear
No more questions left unanswered
No more wonder, no more fear
Nothing is beauty, nothing's feeling
Blood where there once was a soul
So I ask you, prove yourself
Make me believe that you are whole

This strikes me as somewhat different than some of your other poems, yet it is still very much you. You use some good imagery here, but my favorite line was this:

These words do struggle in the dust with one another,
[SIZE="4"][color="DarkSlateBlue"]God has called me to mission work in Paraguay and Brazil. I may return to CAA someday. God bless all of you![/color][/SIZE]

[i]Two vast and trunk-less legs of stone stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away. On the pedestal these words are inscribed:

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

I'm glad you think so, becuase I loathe this thing. It's not really a poem, more of a rant...and it came out so AWKWARD when I spoke it...

My favorite bit is "Look! I speak from uninspiration!"
