not the same
I hate your political beliefs
because they’re hurting people
you hate mine because
you think I’m hurting god
(how does one *hurt* god?)
I’d only follow a god who
hurts when their kids hurt
not a petty god who’s hurt
when I don’t obey an old book
This is a poem from a little book I just self-published called please cut up my poems. I’ll be sharing more about it soon when I get my author copies, but here’s the back cover of my sample copy.
Check out the front cover here. And you can buy it if you want to see the inside. :)
I included poem submissions from 15 online friends, so that’s pretty fun. Stay tuned if you’d like to submit a poem for Volume 2!
p.s. I’m also getting a head start on my launch team for whole (the 3rd book in my poetry trilogy that releases March 2024). If you’d like to be a part of it, leave a comment or send me a message. I’d looooooove to have you!
I think this might be my favorite of all your poems so far. Again, saddened/angered by the hatred that inspired it, but what a great way to expose that hate!
Love to be in the launch team,Marla!!
