WHAT IS FAITH BUT A POWERFUL HOPE…

A POEM BY: FRIEDA LOPEZ

What is faith but the powerful hope of a brighter tomorrow? The struggling in the comfort of morality, crossing our moat of grief and sorrow.

Creatures of love through pain, a treacherous road in the trenches in a war with ourselves. Astigmatism, comfortably numb through self-vindication., purposely surrounded by a void through pleasure and wealth.

Being controlling and controlled by the truths that we believe by our mortal senses. Desperately seeking answers, blinded by mortality, indulgent through fear through our greatest defenses.

Seeking answers by faith through the lost memories from needs rooted in our greatest inflictions. Continuously numbed, replacing comfort in the void of dependency, entangled intemperance of behavioral addictions.

Inaction or by the substance to enlighten the comforts in hearts drenched by our greatest of pains. Masked through the perceptions of illusion through pride and anger as in the void, the mind begins to go insane.

What is faith, but the courage of trust fighting the fear of facing our truth? Trapped in a cycle of want and now, a power to believe in the hands of our once innocent youth.
