Analysis of Psalm



Despite connections with my past, your accusations will not stand
My innocence to hell you cast, while deep inside you understand
Why man is willing to cast stones in my direction at this time
And stand among the broken bones yet distance himself from the crime
Though standing in my solitude I see the gaze of guilt and doubt
Still crucify my attitude (though both i do not live without)
In innocence i stand alone, a child within a man's facade
In guilt i join the world as one a man within religion's guard
And so now aged i confess to guilt yet being less than brave
Despite your ignorance no less i take my secrets to the grave

P G Webster is a poet and songwriter from the Pennine Moors close to the home of the Bronte sisters of Haworth in West Yorkshire. Midgley, the small hamlet like village where he spent his initial 10 years is the subject matter of some of the poet's writings, along with Hebden Bridge and the moorland surrounding Halifax and Calderdale. P G Webster's most noted inspiration is not his favourite poet - William Blake - nor his lifelong obsession with the Brontes, but infact, the very ground he trod around his home surroundings. He has a profound passion for nature and philanthropic matters. The work of this unknown bard is special, and expressive and very, very impressive. Read, and digest these pieces and marvel at their originality, while recognizing the obvious echoes and style of Blake. more…
