Are We Gods
July 18, 2015
Have you ever wondered, when God looks down
on this rotating sphere of an earth.
Does God ever wonder, what did I start
What feelings elicit within God’s heart,
such as love, and most probably mirth.
We must remember, God is cognizant of
vast numbers of spheres beyond count.
Our speck of a sphere would be hidden, I fear
in the uncounted billions existing, I hear
in the Milky Way’s cloudy amount.
Upon our sphere, gathered busily here,
are billions and billions of men.
Our billions see us as the be-end of all,
we are larger than life, we can never be small,
on perception’s deceit, we depend.
So in our turn, are we gods in a way
to the worlds that exist, at our feet.
Only microscopes, could reveal where they went,
but indifferent we are, never benevolent
like our God who loves us, I repeat.
Sweet Relief
July 22, 2015
For beauty, never much cared I,
my heart was oft enticed
but never bared the lie.
The world, at least the world I knew
didst turn around the needs I used
to ever blindly misconstrue
the true reality of you,
until this dead man tasted life.
This waking, not of my design
removed my subtle veil
of rankest ignorance.
Massed foliage surrounding me
burst into brilliant, vibrant green.
The sky, once of a somber hue,
with subterfuge exposed,
became the brightest blue
repentant man has ever seen.
I once was blind but now I see,
God came, God blessed,
God gifted me eternity.
When Jesus Christ, who knew me then
went to the cross, rebellious men
to save, I was chief.
And now, within the heart
of Jesus Christ, I now
and evermore find sweet relief.
Hark, Canst Thou Not Hear
July 20, 2015
Hark, canst thou not hear, rumbling wheels of war
betraying distant unrest. Masses under harangue
rise thru fabricated offences of lies, to justify,
then die, as Satan calls to false rest.
Once more, a tyrant possessed of hell, with demonic
power doth entice, to a newer kind of world destruct,
power displayed in the sun run amuck, and reduced
to the hand of man, then usurped by Satan’s plan.
Condensed, refined, cunningly designed, bottled hell!
Threatened nuclear retribution
Ok for a while but incessant guile ultimately prevailed,
resulting in wide, undisciplined distribution.
Nations marshal before our eyes against Israel!
Zechariah revealed that this
