“I will abstain from sex”he decided,another plot to please Gods,if any of them ever did listen to prayers. Needless to say he didn’t like this but anything for chance to greatness !
“What now !!”, muttered god, “should some one with halo on head go to show him way ?? what does he dream then ?”

this poem is quite lovely, actually very deep.
Loved the ending to this.
YAY!!!
Hyperlink is something that I just learned about a month ago.
Thanks for working so hard to play, I really appreciate this.
Loved your 55 as well…
You Rock The Planet My Friend
Have a Kick Ass Week-End…G
Hi LadyN – this one made me think. There is a lot going on I feel in few words..makes the reader weave the background story..great stuff! And thanks for your visit..Jae
to what leangths we go to try to appease the god(s)…and to what end…have we learned anything…nice 55.
atleast those who do this, have learned nothing !!
Touting the ‘holiness’ of abstinence is just a ploy to curtail over-population, nothing more. If we weren’t meant to enjoy it, it wouldn’t feel so good.
exactly my thought !!!
I know of no gods of any religious calling who advocate abstinence. The earthly religious leaders who do are control freaks. “What now?” indeed.
Nicely done.
thank you !!!! for the visit and the wonderful comment 🙂
I think you could have extended this a little, but it was still a nice little poem.
The World of Lost Souls
OMG this is excellent and I so love the ending. Very nice. Have a great weekend 🙂
Ahhh, in dreams what may come? Angels saying “no sex thoughts?” Angels indeed!
Very very interesting 55!
Who would want to do that? Crazy 55. Love it. Mine is also up.
Wondering if we ever do learn any lessons from trying to appease the gods. Beautifully done 55.
Mine’s here.
lovely done!
🙂

my 55 is here.
Happy Friday!
god’s cryptic way of talking (well, muttering) made me think of Tonto in the Lone Ranger series 🙂 – seriously, a lovely and thought-provoking 55. Well done!
Like this one.
hmm yeah, sometimes we dream and not work for the dream.. even if an angel with halo on head comes and tries to show us the way..
well said.!
Great. Really liked this.
I couldn’t exactly understand this, did the gods mean to say that they too don’t abstain from having sex? 😉
I’d done a post on similar theme here: http://ketpan.wordpress.com/2009/07/19/educational-post/
don’t remember what i had in mind that time .. but i think Gods don’t accept such bribes 😉
