Fascinating dream poem. Was it a lucid dream, I wonder. Its all just right except the
question mark after "fall" in stanza #7. The beginning imagery is well composed to
exemplify the insanity of the mass of humans.

It was quite a lucid dream. I'm not sure what you mean about the question mark after "fall". I used no punctuation and there were several questions. Are you saying there should be a question mark after that one line? I appreciate the feedback.

G'day mate.
Fabulous and very wise. Beautifully rhymed and tells a huge story of man's deed or should I say misdeeds? I really enjoyed picking the meanings from this.
Quality work and I wish I had a six left.
Cheers Fez

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about a dream that explains our twisted ways we see the birth and death of Christ. All the bad and sad news in the world today are definitely have an influence on our sub conscious.

Comment from KL Williams
That is quite an interesting dream, and also impressive that you've put it in such poetic form. You speak a lot of truth about our somewhat sad history. The line that stood out the most to me was "So little we've gained from all that we've lost". That last stanza also really hits home and makes one think. Great job, and thank you for sharing!

Comment from Irish Rain
Very deep. I think we all create that which is, simply by accepting it. I personally believe in Christ, but love the bunny. The underlying theme of life can only be love. And that is what was missing from so much of the outrages in history. We had greed, not love. I really enjoyed this, blessings...

Do the Stars Kiss the Moon every night when it comes out? Thank you for your very kind and generous review. I wasn't sure what people would think about this one.

No, unfortunately when it comes to Stars...
Twinkle little star is A myth but...
If you want to believe...
In God...
It does exist...

Comment from Sis Cat
Wow.
Memories fade but your acts always last
This is a powerful poem inspired by a surreal dream of a twisted Thanksgiving dinner where:
There were a dozen dead natives with turkey to eat
People standing in line to wash a man's feet
Children dressed as demons awaiting a treat
In the south, millions re enact a defeat
You talk with raw language and metaphors of how Christianity and religion are twisted and used as weapons against Native Americans. Describing and recalling a nightmarish vision upon awakening, you ask:
What are the reasons we do what we do
Is it because we have something to prove
Do we know where we're going and what is the cost
So little we've gained from all that we've lost
The answers are unsettling as intended.
Your rhymes are secondary to your profound, stark message:
Forgiveness is easy if you are asked
Memories are ever part of the past
My only advice is to keep that pen and paper on your nightstand to write down more dreams that sound like modern Revelations.
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your insightful review. Some people don't seem to quite understand what I am trying to say in this poem. I did want to get across the idea of how some use Christianity as a weapon to inflict their ideas on others who don't believe as they do. I do keep pen and paper handy and have scribblings in several notebooks around at all times. Some of those scribblings don't make much sense when I'm fully awake though.
-
I keep a flashlight-pen on my nightstand and taught myself to write in the dark.
-
It's not always the lack of light that makes my late-night scribbles unusual. It is sometimes that they just don't seem to make as much sense when I read through them later.

There were several holidays I was trying to allude to. Easter, where we have rabbits delivering eggs while Christ is nailed to a cross, Thanksgiving (in the United States), with the Native Americans, Valentine's Day, and Columbus day. Mostly it's about how we celebrate them and what they are supposed to mean to us.
