THE SQUANDERING OF GRACE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

we dismiss our own rights to heaven

every time we deny the very existence

of hell

what soulicide was committed here

(on earth) at so many separate times

that such acts so foolishly placed man

upon such a fast paced demoralizing

downward scale

was it doubt or sheer disobedience

likely both one could opt for a guess

never fear though

for the great love of God

through his so beloved son alone

shall effortlessly flush out such

overly brazen and unseemingly arrogant

attitudes in all of man kind

one singularly sileneced soul at a time

so do be well aware

for the end is far closer than any

beginning we claim to share

and to fully understand

one must firs fully listen

without any prejudice nor demand

before each his own spirit can expect

to be heard

as God's softest whispers

are capable of drowning out even the very

loudest of shouts in the ever after

Hark

but I do believe I hear my own name

tell me

are you able to hear yours?..............
