FREE WILL

Folder: 
JOURNAL #29

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........
