A very religious poem about what God left behind for us. |
-God Left Behind- by Keaton Foster From the sky From the sea Beyond the trees Beyond the sand Once came a man Down from the Mountains up high A supreme being Disguised No one knew How could they ever At first he did nothing Except live Such a human predicament In time When the need became quite apparent He began to do more He began to get noticed People stopped People listened Hanging on every word No one dared call him absurd They wanted something to believe And he gave it to them They followed his ways They believed in his cause Spread far and wide Across a billion lives His message of peace was heard He asked for only one thing One absolute in return Faith in him and his words In time the wrong men Heard his message of right Jealous of his clout They sought him out Through trickery they forced The hand of another Someone quite close To the man turned something more A God in a once seemingly godless universe He did not beg for mercy He only spoke of his love And his own power to believe In something more than himself As they nailed him to the cross They pierced his flesh And bled his mortal life Transcendence was guaranteed Without fear he joined those Who believed in all that he spoke Jesus and the father of us all Are one and the same God left behind What remains to this day A message of peace That at times we forget The good book reminds us But only if we read it Only if we know the stories told And the truths sown I am no perfect Christian But I am a man that understands That to be perfect at something You have to follow the examples shown And live in a way that shows You understand what it means To be part of something beyond Your own flesh and bones… God Left Behind Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
