New work, your thoughts please, and thanks!!!?
Was it?
A child was born today,
Piercing black pearl drop eyes,
The mother knew the father,
As told by the angel,
Do you condemn the faith?
Does society judge the faith?
Our time, our place, our life,
Faith is just a myth,
You the holder and giver,
Of all creation never ask for redemptions,
Dear lord why give your life?
For your people - unworthy spirits,
Never learn right from wrong,
Never gave a damn for prayer,
Still you would gracefully,
Kill for the right of faith,
I ask you - was your sacrifice worth the pain of the innocent?

I think it is beautiful! I followed it. The lead in is the key, the speaker wants you to pause for just a split second before reading on. Think about what is said in the first few lines. The baby, the mother, the father, the Angel. Then the next few lines move on to the reader personally. Do YOU....again the slight pause to think, Do I? Next another shift back to God. Asking if it was worth his sacrifice, all of this is answered in the Bible, and the answer is yes.
I love the layout, but then again, I love poetry with layers and twists and turns. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like the birth and death of Jesus. Some of the things that don't seem to hold together are lines like "Faith is just a myth" and "Still you would gracefully/Kill for the right of faith". The first one could be changed to a question like "Is faith just a myth?". The second one sounds like God/Jesus is the one being spoken about so maybe just change "Kill" to "Suffer". That is more consistent with the rest of the theme.

It has a good base, but the thing is that it is easy to get lost in this poem and confused. You have to reread it a bit to get it. Poems on the more random end of the spectrum can have some of the best deeper meaning but this one puzzled me a little bit. The beginning stanza had me a bit confused. I think overall a pretty good poem though.

Ummm.... It had me confused as well... At first I didn't know whether the child was under the heel of a heartless God or what... At first look, I thought you were talking about abortion.... sorry to have reacted this way...T____T But I like the poem of its wordy combinations and unique phrases...
