Horror's Greatest Hits

Mainspring of Life (A Sonnet)

I have no nationality except humanity,
I have no tradition except compassion,
I have no religion except liberty,
I have no god except a family of 7 billion,
I have no belief but only awareness,
I have no creed but only acceptance,
I have no messiah except the self,
I have no scripture except my conscience,
I have no gospel except godliness,
I have no sermon except thought,
I have no philosophy except oneness,
I have nothing to give you except love a whole lot,
I demand no obedience, nor do I desire worship and offering,
For there is death in worship, and freedom is life's mainspring.

Keira Porter Your sonnets are very talented. They can really touch something deep down and make you think. I think this is worthy of a detailed review on https://writingqueen.co.uk I may not have enough experience in the analysis of poetry. But I try to learn and learn new skills.
