This poem sounded good in my head, sometimes I just write them out and see where they go. |
-God’s Own Plate- by Keaton Foster Creation was the first step Of course there are And have been plenty of others Destruction comes into mind But such a thing as the end Is indeed an evolution of time And a foregone conclusion For those of us living Within this here and now In between is where everything Counts most of all What we do and how we act Are not predetermined facts But an exercise in free will God’ greatest unintended gift Take it for what it is A psychosomatic form of control That in time will lead us Down a dead end road God’s wisdom dispensed Choices placed in front of us Dare not eat the tasty apple Such a delicious thing is forbidden Dare not let your eye wander Beyond all that has been prepared Take fate on the chin Wrap your hands around The throat of the world Always be prepared to squeeze Management of us has always Been a secondary agenda There is indeed no time To save absolutely everyone No plan to save everything Heaven would run full Overflowing with lost souls Desperately committed in life Guaranteed for certain in death There is a reason there is a place Abruptly referred to as hell Long since creation we have been Left to our own defenses God’s own plate It certainly quite full Overflowing with excess His gluttony knows no end How could it ever He is God An all knowing All powerful supreme being Of unimaginable gravity Unrequited love and understanding A one sided being that many blame For all of their own failed plans Point your finger inward Stop being and hypocrites hypocrite Suck up life like a sponge We can never truly know God Until we are stone cold dead Until we cannot be saved From ourselves or our fate Only then will we know for certain Only then will all things be absolute Is it so bad to live via Such unrealistic speculation Most definitely not God’s plate might be full Even overflowing But ours, yours and mine Are quite empty And we are as usual Quite hungry… God’s Own Plate Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
