PURITY STRENGTHENED THROUGH FIRE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

oh how we blister
in our very own
discontent
whether it be fact or fiction
that fuels our latest lament
the hard scrabble congress
of the day to day low level
living
men and women gathering
their scraps of minimal progress
charging into the streets
getting pushed, getting shoved
in the rock and hard place middle
of their week
while sparing little thought of their
own
for some minor act of giving
realizing with their bloody nose
to the dirty ground
there are no short cuts
just bruised knees and scraped
elbows for their misplaced
ingenuity
and people argue
there is no hell
ask yourself again
what is the definition of Hell
separation from God
trust me my friends
Hell can lay in wait
lurking around every
yet turned corner of life
the devil truly may be
in the details
but the finest lessons for a soul
sent here to learn
live all too often in the most
Hellish parts of, 'time's very own
particular form of living..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

How our souls learn their lessons best, when we in our human form are put in the worst of situations imaginable. Like metal is purified, bent and strengthened by means of placing it in the hottest fires first. God molds our souls too in just such a manner I believe.

Thanks Smooothie ..........

your comments are always much appreciated. I've been in a prolific writing spell here lately so am taking full advantage and not doing as many of my own critiques of others as I normally do. Will have to get back in the swing of that soon. I won't forget you then. Sincerely, M...............
