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.

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:
