You don't hold the watch
(A letter to the world)
It's not fit for man nor beast
Homeless and alone
Facing humanities coldness
Wondering where next
We can go to
To call home
And yet we plod on
Sometimes wishing we were never born
Rendered, quartered and torn
It then comes to mind
Of a prayer I once heard
"We pray to thee O' God
Oh what have we done
To face this onslaught
Of bitter, blatant human scorn"
It hits me then
This question of ours
O' Lord what have we done?
We all seek the answer in what ever is our beliefs
What have we done O' Lord to punish us like this?
God say's
You
The reason is you.
Jesus, Gods only son
Taught not about mayhem and war
He taught peace
He didn't teach
Hate thy neighbor
But to love one another instead.
And yet, we humans
Has enough nerve to ask God
Over and over again
Why me Lord, why?
Why aren't you
Or
What's stopping you
From hearing my prayer
Ring, ring, ring,
Bong, bong, bong,
Chime, chime, chime,
And a good cockle doodle doo
Wake up and smell the coffee
What have we done?
A good look out our windows
Will give us a great view of what we
Hath wrought
Upon God's gift to us
Ourarrogance, Ourbiasness
Ourpride,Ourprejudices
Ourcallousness,Ourscorn
YET
We are so blind to God's answer to you, me, us
That it's because of us.
GOD DID NOT CREATE THIS MESS!
MY BIBLE, God's Word tells me in Genesis
That when God created this world for us to live in
"IT WAS GOOD"
God, created this gift for us
And what have we done?
Squandered it away,
Divided it up,
And then will kill one another over it.
So many crimes
So many wars
So many deaths
So many, so many, so many.
We are like an experiment
gone wrong
and are more than willing to kill ourselves
and others over it in trying to fix it before
the professor comes back.
Jesus taught in so many words that
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
Go in peace.
Church pews filled every Sunday
First prayer of the day is
O' Lord
Don't let the preacher, preach
On my sin today. Amen.
And then leave after the Sunday service
with their cup filled (until they get out of the doors , that is)
knowing full well that they will have a few days to raise hell uninterrupted.
Yet
We call ourselves Christians
Followers of Christ.
Superficial, Arrogant, Prideful.
IS this what Christ taught for us to follow?
My Bible teaches me
Love, caring, compassion
In Revelations 3:16
God says that because of being lukewarm
He will spat you out of His mouth
Why?
Well let's take going to church on Sunday
to make way to start raising hell on Monday. (a superficial Christian.)
Are you one of those
that God is talking to today?
He is saying repent
Are you?
Or are you one of those that
carries out the door
the same exact deceit in your heart
that you carried into Gods house?
God is saying repent
Your choice , Your decision
Or
Are you one of those that thinks they can wait until the very last minute to say
Oh, Now I Believe, and want to be saved and baptized?
YOU DO FORGET ONE THING THOUGH
You don't hold the watch
God does
And you may end up hearing "I KNOW YOU NOT"
It's to late, It's to late.
