I walked on the ocean and flew through the sea
I wrote my name upside down and put the one that broke my heart next to me
I solved the Rubix cube with my feet and solved one questions with another question asked just the same
I used seclusion to silently acquire world wide fame
But I gave it up because I felt lonely in a crowd
I failed at everything I tried to make someone else proud
I became a clown to make others feel relaxed and calm
I wanted world peace so I petitioned for the president to make a few more bombs
Then I rioted with no cause because I thought it to be radical
I wrote free form poetry with a form that was purely mathmatical
I wanted to be happy so I cried for four days and I shrunk my life down into a cave where only shadows know how I behaved to the point of being pulled towards a grave where the only hope was no hope and my heart was a slave to the wrong thing and all the enemy’s ways
I was caught in a place where only the Holy pray and money buys a ticket to heaven
But Heaven isn’t open to the homeless man sleeping outside the 7-11
Because the church I was dwelling in was actually commanded by sin
They wanted to reach out by being boxed in
They followed the Bible by putting others down
Instead of honoring God, they fabricated their own thorn crowns
Do you see how backwards all of this seems?
God wants FAITH, not elaborate schemes
to get enough money to mow the lawn or remodal another wall
No, God doesn’t want that at all
Maybe if we opened our eyes, we would see how Jesus Christ is sometimes more present on the streets
Because Faith is a command that requires our feet
His Word is living, moving, breathing
And to feel His touch should be freeing
We should not be enclosed by His love, we should be spread
God’s Word is our nourishment and we have been fed
God makes sense, even if sometimes we can’t see it
God has made us so much more, it’s time we believe it.

Awesome! We are to pour out the Love of Christ on a dying and failing world! He didn’t ask us to condemn but to pour His Kindness on a world that only understands performance and accomplishment! Our world ignores and disdains those who are hurting and poor! The world loves money, and fame, and youth, and accomplishment, and beauty! But we know we are to love the leper, and serve him! Anyone can love the beautiful! But we are asked to serve and love the lowly, those who are ignored, and those who are sick! Never must we condemn those who sin, but pull them in with The Love of Jesus, to the point where He transforms them! IT is God who will change the world, we are only the willing vessels for His Glory! It is His work! It has been accomplished at The Cross!
ALL GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST!
<3 Thank you so much for this. I love hearing God speak to me through the connections I have made through my poetry. All Glory to Jesus indeed.
