The Blind

God is on his lips.
The same lips that taste a child
and speak empty words.

God is on his mind.
The same mind that perverts a calling
and justifies itself.

God has left his heart.
The same heart that calls evil good
and lusts after a fruit withheld from others.

God is absent.
Absent from all he says or does
not absent from his presence.

God is.

Lori, this is an excellent poem, powerful and honest. I especially love that you end with the core truth, "God is." No matter our wayward wandering, God is. Oh, how I have seen situations like that alluded to in stanza 2 and 3. Ours is to remember those last two words and hold fast to hope. Blessings, Dawn

God is - and how badly He can be misrepresented by those who claim to be His people. We will have a lot to answer for one day - the good we have not done as well as the bad that we have: to God and to others. And not least will be the judgments that have been attributed to God because of the faults of those who confess His name and fly under His ensign. God have mercy! Stark truth vividly expressed.

Splendid profound poem Lori, truths seen in so many who claim
god, but ignore him. However, god doesn't ignore them!

(((lori)))

those that profess to be Christians aren't always Christian-like in thought or deed. God sees all, knows all. "By their fruits you shall know them," it says in God's Word (not exactly sure where, but it's in there!).

powerful, thought provoking, hard hitting truthful piece--thank you for posting this one.

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. *tears*

Par Excellence Lori
God sees everything with his All Seeing Eye...
And is aware and conscious of all deeds and misdeeds..
