  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Title: Agony

What is this I feel....
Stabbing... deep pain,
The hurt beyond the hurts...
It makes my world dizzy...
I pant... I pant...
Breadth..... Breadth.
Who can ease my pain?

I am stubborn,
I know it,
The traits of my ancestors,
What I have been born with,
Pain, despair.

Pain comes when love
Goes unfulfilled,
Betrayal I never feel,
Caused by my own misunderstanding.

Tears...
I don't need them....
What I need is strength,
The will to succeed.
My life that belongs to someone else,
I have no choice but to live it.

Woes... pain ... sorrow.
The devil's hands upon me,
He knows I am vulnerable now,
In my anger at somebody else,
I cannot resist him.
A helpless babe....
Trapped in a situation,
She doesn't look for.

My world... a heap of ruins.
I do not know where
To find that courage to live.
Failures after failures
committed by my flesh...
my hands.... ah..... unclean! Unclean!

My heart, anger and mind....
They don't mix.
I hate to see lies,
Bear false hopes....
The person I loves never answers....

Brief comment: I am in anguish. I am in pain. The “Somebody” refers to in this poem is none other than God. In my anger and in my pain, I refuse to call him, “God”. The pain is there because I think God betrays me. I know he doesn’t betray me, I know the pain is caused by my own misunderstanding but that doesn’t ease my feeling of being betrayed by someone I love. God, who is usually full of words to guide me, is unusually silent in the midst of this great pain. This is another one of my pain poems.
