I do not like this place.

I don’t belong here,

the stench of death pervades,

yet outside the sun beats down,

hotter than the promised hell.

I do not like this place.

Relics of a bygone day,

guilt and blame pave the way,

to salvation,

but only if you are too weak.

Enough, to believe as

fear holds tight,

demanding allegiance,

to blame and sin;

dragged screaming from within,

without compassion,

or mercy,

for the weak –

End.

I do not like this place,

I do not belong here,

for the stench of death,

offends my soul.

Thank You Resa!

I’ve been honoured this past week to have been nominated for the, ‘The Beautiful Blogger Award’ by Resa – http://resamcconaghy.com

Thank you – it is always fantastic to be nominated by people who have taken time to visit and read my blog. It is also a good way to provide others with the opportunity to link up to blogs they may not yet have visited. Please visit Resa’s blog, she is a bright and unique blogger, I am thoroughly enjoying following her posts!

The guidelines are….

link back to who nominated you

  1. Nominate six or seven blogs
  2. let nominees know by leaving a comment on their sites; and
  3. add the award image to your site

 

I am going to cheat slightly and only nominate three as I have received a couple of awards this week and I don’t want to overwhelm people with nominations!!

And the nominees are:
