The Supplicants

[Pilgrim]

Is this supposed to be religion neutral? Cuz it isn't. And you shouldn't use words that you don't know all the meanings for. You mention sod. Do you seriously not know the slang usage of the word? Do you see anyone write a poem about faggots? No, because that would sound like this:
In the forest, two hunters found,
A pig's carcass infested with maggots,
They squealed with glee, and hugged each other,
Because they both loved faggots.

And then at the end we get 'His' 'You' 'Your'. As if this one being made the universe. Not all religions have one God. And not all of them refer to their God with a capitalized pronoun. So this poem ends in mild bigotry.


On an other note:
And who will end injustice,
and who will banish war?
And who will offer solace to
the outcast and the poor?

war/poor not really rhyming..

Hello, Zerric.

1. The primary meaning of sod is:

A piece of grass-covered surface soil held together by the roots of the grass. Turf.

Poetic: The ground.

Slang: A person considered to be obnoxious.

So if this word were kept within the context in which it was used, there would be no doubt as to its meaning.

2. Inasmuch as nobody knows who made the universe, understanding is as much a matter of belief as of science. The narrator in this case did in fact believe in one God.

3. I think that bigotry, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Regards,

Pilgrim.
