we share the idea of genius
the branches of such structure
brush the accepting multitudes
menses parades her graduates
a swimmer's folly among the roots
barbituates like candy are offered to
our children
deprivation plays out its abundance
of scenes every moment in the day
if one were to look with only one's imperfect
human eyes
one would see little more than the surface
waste
but embrace the logic and attempt to realize
that is precisely what the negative forces
at work labor to achieve
the world is not a bad place
though some of its inhabitants are a bit misguided
and rather unpredictable
while others bray of their foul and horrible deeds
I will never fully understand those who doubt GOD
his love force is so trememdous
one has to be numb to his very own soul for me to believe
they can not feel it
just try on the idea of pretending you don't see that
pink 20 foot rabbit in the room
but its more real than you could ever endeavor to imagine
man alone has allowed into our world all that hurts us
and many ask why does God allow this to go on
they do not see the most simple obvious truth of all
two words alone can explain it in one breath
FREE WILL
his gloriously wonderously terrible burdensome gift given to every person who ever lived
and look back at all the wretched irreprehensible things prior men have done
but I must ask too that you examine closer
there's innumerable goodness that carries itself forth
from day to day
week to week
month to month
year to year
decade to decade
century to century
from country to country
upon continent to continent
to all of us
where some GET IT
others never do
though like all my earthly brothers
death does hunt me
I am never afraid
as my soul is eternally safe
my lord GOD YOU........
