Faith

By Kim Shultz

No sticks and stones have touched my bones,
But words indeed have hurt me.
The taunts and jibes from Smith and Jones,
And those who would convert me.

Whisper the fiery wrath of hell,
And then speak of love sublime.
And how long would it take to tell
How those two things can combine?

Tell me my thought, my will is free
And then say I must obey.
Explain about eternity,
Which I must choose day by day.

The reasoning behind your speech
Is what I am questioning.
I don't deny the faith you preach,
Only the truth of the thing.

Faith is something I cannot share
Although I know I have tried.
But so long as logic is there,
Anything else would be a lie.

That was good. I say if you're okay with what you believe, so am I. I'm spiritual, but not religious. To each his or her own! You are a very good writer. Very talented. Have a nice day! -M.

~ There's no Free Will in Heaven ~


There’s no free will in heaven
God’s will is all there is
and the only way to get there
is to pass his earthly quiz

At least this is the faith
of a religion gone awry
a belief of many people
who refuse to ponder why

Why should they be puppets?
Why should they be slaves?
Why should life be so taboo
that they should focus on their graves?

Don’t fall for earthy substance!
Don’t live your life with zest!
For earthy things aren’t fit for kings
and life is just a test

What a dismal view of life!
What a waste of all creation!
Life is meant to be enjoyed
with the greatest of elation!

Heaven is at hand
God is in your soul
Waiting till your dead and gone
is the behavior of a fool

Let your light shine brightly!
Worship in the sun!
Indulge in earthly pleasures
and wallow in the fun!

Don’t judge your brother’s actions
Don’t cower down in guilt
Relish God’s creations
and enjoy them to the hilt!

To do much less would be a sin
In spirit, - not in law
The only thing that God requests
is that you live your life in awe

Abra (2/1/2008)

(Pantheism – God is all there is. And that’s all there is to that.)
