The Bible Told Me So

Im not a very religious person at all but my mind wonders and I interperate things differently and I take messages differently and this poem was just a mix in my head of how I interperate things

The moon dropped its light onto my face

It fell at a heavy pace

The boys passed by on their motorcycles

Holding up their loaded riffles

The shots went off sending signs

Those were the golden times

The fire rushed through my soul

Because thats the way he told me so

I trusted him because that's all I had

Didn't trust the future had no past

The motel sat across the road

You could see the girls selling their broken souls

The time never stopped

I had control and broke the screws on the clock

finally I felt free

I was the person I was ment to be

Riding through the open air

Watching while their big eyes starred

Im in love with the life of a broken soul

Because the bible told me so

What a wonderful poem; the metaphors are great, they boys riffles, and the lesson his is such a powerful one; that of a broken soul and you turned it around so nicely like a banner blinking; I see those girls and woman in my minds eye and always wonder, what the back story, what's the why? No judgement, just sadness (Wathcing?) Hey if it is a typo, don't feel bad, you should see my thank you's to people that have seen mine, but with my limited vocab, could be a word. I've only seen this in movies; but you have put it out there. I love the ending; it set a fire, so hot! great writing Katy. Profound! Clever. Thank you.

I need to use a 50 size font all the time: gotta buy new reading glasses, I suppose. Great writing!
