			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>why should we believe<br />
He would come again<br />
when we reap<br />
not of His harvest<br />
but of our own</p>
<p>why should we believe<br />
we understand His words<br />
when we kill<br />
in His name<br />
over land so holy</p>
<p>why should we believe<br />
we care about Him<br />
when we fight<br />
over steps and tiles<br />
in His house</p>
<p>why should we believe<br />
He came at all<br />
when we reap<br />
not of His harvest<br />
but of our own</p>

<p>I’m bored.  Here are some random poems i just wrote.</p>
<p><strong>Ode to Henry</strong></p>
<pre>everybody is a sweet lonely nothing
the sugar of my mind is everything
nobody knows how to make me happy
i'm dead    on    the     inside</pre>
<p><strong>Motivation</strong></p>
<pre>Walking endlessly across the endless beach
  I count the endless footprints of my endless journey.
How long have I walked?
How long will I walk?
Not once have I stopped on my way
  though I endlessly forget what I am doing.</pre>
<p><strong>Change</strong></p>
<pre>Eyes meet.
  "Spare some change?"
Coins weigh pockets.
No one bothers.
  "Have a nice day."
Have a nice life.
                  Not.
Another child dies of starvation.
Who asked you?
               No one.</pre>
<p><strong>Lisa</strong></p>
<pre>Leaning against the lamp post
She peddles her wares
A long alabaster leg
Poking shamelessly naked
Through a long fur coat</pre>
<p><strong>Dress Code</strong></p>
<pre>Kiss
  my
    Dockers
  wearing
butt</pre>
</div>
