Poem Artwork


 

Mind scars, like prison bars
Barriers to freedom


Human beings drawn to
Being in bondage


Either we are too ignorant to know better
Or we have a bent towards it


How else to explain we are all behind bars
of one kind or another


Even when we successfully escape them
We eventually erect more


So what is the answer to our recidivism
When do we  cry "ENOUGH" and mean it


Sometimes we hold ourselves hostage
While never taking the blame


Whether it be
Family matters
Life styles
Religion
Politics
Love


We find ourselves in bondage making mind scars
Which keep us behind a  barrier of bars


Escape can only come from  partnering with
The One who  holds the key to all things


It's up to us to join with Creator, to be set free!

He said, "Believe in Me and I will set you free."

This is the recourse of living with fear.

Excellent verse Sis.

Reflective of resilience, enabling us to resume our original shape after being barred, but never abandoning the course of faith. Resiliency comes from faith's benefit program, when we recognize there is no need to turn away from faith or seek a better alternative, because there is no better alternative. Freedom comes when there is spiritual belief, and when there is spiritual belief, mind scars diminish, but we need to keep faith refreshed, because thorns are ever present. Nice poem, Eileen.

It's up to us to get on the bus that to heavens door does go, He'll take us with our baggage, then toss it out the back, we need nothing but our heart for Him, and nothing will we lack. For His Grace and awesome power, are more than sufficient for thee, and the ticket costs, but, our miserable selves, what a deal! It might as well be free.

It's all about liberating and freeing ourselves from the bondage of fear and prejudice..
The majority of mankind are stricken with these vices, which can only be removed and erased by trusting implicitly in the Supreme Being...
You excel in this theme Eileen !

Very, very true, we do choose our own prisons all too often because for some it is much easier to be a victim and blame others, than it is to have a shred of personal responsibility. Great.
