I reach down slow
Puzzling eyes
Long, limber fingers reach out
For that little box

It emits a sad glow, like a dying little faery
I can feel sorrow pouring from it, like water over a dam
And I share in its saddness
I share in its pain
Poor God
It must be so crammed in your little box

Human words have built this box
And human ways have enslaved you
Because of the greed, the power, the glory
They have taken something vaster than the Unvierse
And put it in a box

I shed a tear, and then two
And they fall on the closed lid
My dragon wings beats slowly
My heart aches for help

I cannot pry it open
Though I try with all my might
People pass by and mock me
Not one finger is lifted to help me
Others raise their hands
They strike me for my objection
To something as great as God
Being put in a little box

I want to free him
So I am evil
I want everyone to see him for what he really is
So I am a herald for the Devil
I want to open God's little box
I want to show the world who He is
With out the masks
With out the lies
With out misconceptions that have lived through the ages

With my heart uneasy and heavy
I put God's little box back down
I beat my wings
I offer my thanks and apologies
And I offer him my prayers
As I leave I pray for tolerance
And the courage to accept a change
I pray that one day not only my kind
Will release a being as uncontainable
As wonderful
And as powerful as a God
From his little, man-made box

This I really read through, and liked it. So i read it again, and again, and again. It really did make me smile. It may look long, but it really is good. I really thing that it is great that you have expressed your thoughts. 5/5

This is the first one I read all the way through. I't actually pretty good, and even though it's long it wasn't boring. Some of the words were a little cliche and overused, but put into this story-type poem it was enjoyable. I gave it a four.
