Must I…

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Sunday, June 24, 2007

Must I ‘taunt’ you, World,
To get a response!
Must I sell my soul
To what is thought as the devil?

Must I ‘logic’ myself
To death? Irresponsible?
Must I remind you, again,
I am nothing when I am alone.

Must I ‘trust’ Us,
To heal aging life?
Must I die in my soul
To keep my eyes on the prize?

Must I try to ‘tempt’ you, World,
Without a response?
Must I keep telling my soul,
I am nothing less than evil?

Thanks for sharing and remember God works best with nothing, for it is how we all began. If you get time read my poem, from nothing to something.

God Bless You and Your Loved Ones

Erin,

Tend to agree with Karen Vanderlaan, you are never nothing...especially not evil. A powerfully penned, poignant write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Dear Erin: If this is comprised of an encounter in which you filled in with your own nuiances...I.E. someone selling his soul to something he supposes you think is the devil(obviously,as I know better about selling my soul,..is exactly the wrong thing to sell your soul to)..taunting you by selling his soul to what apppears to you as the devil. Alone there would be no such discourse, and either the poem be nothing or the parties be nothing..but nothing is always nothing, not some of the time nothing. Something is never nothing. One is the lonliest number since the number two but one is always nothing until it is two. It takes two to be something if "something" is the act of making something, then the world would not exist unless there were always something. How we always think the world is created ..something made it. One or two things. Would add up to nothing if one(nothing) made it logically, so logically one did not make it if it is something. Anything is logically nothing if it is alone. No one is alone, so everything is something. Do you think the world is made from nothing, that I think I tricked you as to who I am selling my soul to? Fools like that aren't born everyday? or who'd sell their souls to the devil. Would a guy who thinks like that have to be evil, does evil exist but in the point of reference of the beholder. If one construed that Adolf Hitler wrote both Declaration of Independance and the Theory of Relativity, what freedoms and intellects would we behold. So in answer to your question, "no , you dont have to keep telling your self that you are evil"

Marvin

P.S.-liked your blog. Reminded me of myself , and my own self doubts, and always comprehensive to compromising test -a reserve grows in those who are sensitive to others.
