Christians on the Road

by Frank P Whyte — Read all 321 poems by Frank P Whyte

A humble offering after a long dry spell.

Monday, September 14, 2020


Poem Artwork

Masked Christians on the road
In front of me 
Finding only rust 
Where the gold should be,
No blood is drawn
Nor bruise that I can see
But the exaggerated pace
Has them breathing so heavily.
‘Onward Christian soldiers’,
Stay the course
And you will see
That the flames of Hell
Have no true hold on any of thee.
For those so angry
The energy is wasted,
For precious metal
Brings you nothing,
With the Eucharist untasted.


We follow a road

From the womb

To the grave,

Its path everlasting

Whether damned or saved.

Some care, some don’t,

Some never had a chance

And most-likely won’t. 

But the reality is,

With what has been passed on,

That we are rapidly becoming

A planet full of Nones.


My fault is great

But I harbor no hate

And I am happy to leave 

Vengeance to the Lord,

But somewhere out there

Dark matter seeks to rise,

And it settles its scores with the sword.


I am not worthy

Of any eternal reward

For my goodness

Carries little 

Of noteworthy report,

But possibly I’ll be rescued

By our Benevolent Lord

As perhaps will others

Of their own accord,

But until that day

I will solemnly pray,

And look to the Heavens

As I patiently await

That glorious day!

WHAT AN INSPIRING WORK...! A WORK WHICH GOD HAS FIRST AND FOREMOST USED TO... SATURATE AND STRENGTHEN YOU AND THEN...YOU...HAVE PASSED ON TO OTHERS AS 'CHRISTIANS ON THE ROAD', WATCH AND WAIT, WHILE JOURNEYING HOME. SO ENJOYED, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I certainly appreciate Christian benevolent behavior towards those who have suffered either from the unemployment of Coronavirus, their homes and businesses being destroyed by hurricane, or completely cremated by rapidly moving forest fires. A benevolent God would not do these kinds of things to true believers.

I would wager (without any cash) that the Christians and non-Christians have suffered equally with these pandemics of destruction and unemployment wandering like earthquakes across the land. The randomness of these natural events would suggest that there is no guiding purpose, except for us to use our collective intelligence to come up with ways to prevent such things from happening unnecessarily.
