Ideas about religion in poetry Exploring the poems of the first group I discovered several references to God and human nature. Through the language displayed and emotions expressed I will now discuss various ideas about religion. The poem "Blessing" expresses the value of water as "surge of fortune" and "silver crashes." It suggests the greatness of God as he provides water – “the voice of a gentle god.” Water is seen as a gift from God and the poet's line, "roar of tongues", reminds us of this by comparing it with the Bible, "tongues of fire". The people who collect the water are described as the congregation, a term used for a collection of people while worshiping God. Once again the poet Dharker expresses the wonder of God by describing the water as a "blessing" for children. The variety of materials discussed in water harvesting suggests many cultures around the world, "pots, brass, copper, aluminum, plastic buckets" and even "busy hands." Various types of people are reflected in metals. This underlines its worldwide needs and its need for survival. Therefore, it can be seen that we are all equal in need of water to survive and it is God who provides for us and gives us all life. In contrast, the poem "Nothing's Changed" expresses the inequality of people, "whites only inn." It is clear that the Afrika poet does not believe that all people follow God's teaching that we are all equal. His anger is expressed throughout the poem, “the anger of my eyes.” References to the treatment of blacks, the "light work of my lungs," and the contrasting indulgence of whites, "haute cuisine," suggest injustice between people. When Afrika returns to where he once lived, he is clearly still angry, as he exclaims, "Nothing is nothing." changed". Therefore, he still believes that there is a barrier between blacks and whites. Inequality of people is against the Christian religion. The poem "The Night of the Scorpion" shows the benefits of religious faith as women's lives are saved.
