Poem Artwork


 


Reminds us he does when we need a bath,


Can have such a vicious wrath,


Wants us to all follow his path,


Enjoy life, but respect Him, its obvious,


Just do the math…


 


He permits us to have emotions,


Allowing us to develop our own notions,


Even does he allow for witches and potions,


As far as I am concerned I am thankful,


He did develop as well the oceans…


 


We ruin our earth,


Pollute the sky,


Tear up our own bodies,


Never though do you hear Him ask us why…


 


He gives us more than what we need,


He desires us of his word to heed,


When we do not listen, he on our heads has peed,


Chalk it all up I guess to mans need for greed…

Some profound, humorous, and totally cosmic ponderings! That image of a deity peeing on one's head is going to make me very cautious about going outside for the next couple of days:-)

This poem makes me itch! I have said this before, to others in this marvelous Den! Free will is a mighty sword to wield, and there are consequences to all of our choices.

I don't know about you, but when I look into the physical and spiritual mirror I see a man alive and dead at the same moment and in need of something much greater than himself.

We all know so little and we all have such boastful opinions about the Creator. All of us are driven by a nature that defies understanding.

God only asks that we come to him in prayer and keep his commandments. Man went and complicated all that with sky high paperwork, apathy and greed. We are so good at mucking up our own lifestyles. Who needs satan when we're doing a better job ourselves?
How many wake-up calls will be enough?
Give Rufy a huge hug.

I think the rain is meant to cleanse
Cuz we forget to say amen
Wake up earth, remember me
Prayer is cheap....no prayer is free

I liked your poem Joisey boy
Your humor's sharp, and sometimes coy
Is God odd......or a trinity?
I guess I'll have to die and see

lol........pax A

rain today?

God is only odd to you because you don't know Him well.

ODD!
Hmmm, I rather think he is mysterious, works in mysterious ways, wonderful ways, yes he shows wrath, but tons of mercy.
There are alot of ways I could describe God, but Odd, is not one of them, not for me anyway old pal.
BTW my Son moved out, and Took Duchess.....waaaah, I miss her, but she cost us a fortune in fines when she would clear off, but Rob has her in a backyard that is doggyproof.
We got a New Sheppie, Layla, but I still miss my little furry face.
:(
Oh well Rob prayed for a doggie, and Duchess wandered into our yard Ed, so she was his from the get go, can't complain.
See, God is Good, he sent a pet to my son, coz he asked.
Sorry I havent been around, for ages, lots O stuff happened here down under, back again, for the winter now, see yah around more,
Hugs
