Snap Your Faith Awake Poem by John Sensele

Nurture your bravado brood
Favouring friendships and relationships to thrive
Regardless of the creed and colour of the mood

Drifting and shifting in the hive
Where a daft difference
That from reality to surreality arrive

Navigating and gravitating the circumference
Your culture circumstance converses, traverses
As you derive an impudent inference

Fuelled and propelled by vitriolic verses
You glean from boisterous beliefs
Riding and hiding in rabid reverses

You suffer beyond your buffer
In academia, in Utopia and in love
Despite the olive branch you offer

Tinkering the wing of the dove
God sent you
From Heaven above

To chart your future anew
Brightening up prospects
When you no longer swim in the stew

Of superstition and suppression sects
Where you fumble faith
When confusion collects

Your strength
From knees that shake
In width and length
Unless all at once your faith snaps awake.
