I really appreciated this poem because it expressed the unconditional love the author had for God. From experience, I know that this feeling of unworthiness is very common for individuals who are tied down to their religious faith. In "The Altar", the author expresses a desire for, what seems to be, forgiveness from God through offering "cemented tears". In a more literal sense, I have witnessed a similar occasion where over 500 youths bow before God crying and flooding a church's alter asking for the Holy Spirit to dwell upon them. Regardless of my personal experiences, I understand how this may seem unusual or even taboo for non-believers.
