I am tired…
…of everyone thinking that their way is right.
…of all the left versus right bull shit that politics as turned into in this country.
…of worrying about what is going to happen with the economy.
…of watching people pursue things knowing that their likelihood of failure is significant.
…of wondering what is next.
…of men who are heavily influenced by trying to prove their balls are bigger than the other guys.
…of women suffering when their man is playing the “my balls are bigger than theirs” game.
…of children having to grow up in a broken home.
…of the hood mentality that tells you that everyone is out to get you.
…of knowing that racism, sexism, bigotry, hatred, ignorance and intolerance still run rampant in our society.
…of fearing that which is uncontrollable.
…of not fearing that which is controllable.
…of religions, and their followers who are hellbent on convincing the world that their way is the ONLY way.
…of folks not respecting the convictions of others.
…of the media being in control of what we learn and no one doing anything about it.
…of complaining about everyone else not doing anything, when I’m certainly not trying all that hard either.
…of image-control.
…of self-doubt.
I am tired.

“…of religions, and their followers who are hellbent on convincing the world that their way is the ONLY way.”
As I was reading your poem, I came across this verse that struck me. So I understand completely, you call Christianity your religion of faith correct? With that in mind, doesn’t Christianity believe that Christ it the ONLY way? (Refer to Isaiah 45:21 and John 14:6) What is your stance on this? I think you would find yourself in a bind. The bible says that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. With that in mind, shouldn’t you be one of Christ ambassadors letting people know that Christ is the ONLY way to save them from an eternal damnation.

I’m wondering the same thing. Christ himself said, “No man comes to the Father, except through Me.” To believe in the teachings of Christ is to believe that His way is the only way.
