God Is....

by Robert   May 8, 2007


How closely do we wrap our faith and conviction in life,
is it the things that determines who is our wife.
What morals do we instill and what scruples do we throw aside,
what is the true meaning of life and where does it reside?
What book, of text is the complete divine word of all truth,
and are we to understand it before we walk away from our youth?
What priest's words will convict some but show pride on the few,
and why are those words the only one they think are true.
Is Salvation given to the slave of ignorance and greed,
for is not our own hunger for life and justice, our only seed?
I am truly vexed at the world that I was born into this time and place,
for I see only greed and selfishness, on every living face.
Where is Jesus? Buddha or the prophets that came before,
is this a world these profits want of no more?
Where did we go so wrong, that we are left completely alone,
cast in an ocean of discontent, dieing on a forgotten thrown?
Stewards of life and the Earth we are held to this sight,
maybe our real salvation lasts in our very might.
There is the rub, for why should we look for God to do,
when the true work resides in me and you.
The rapture does not reside in the heaven's above,
it is to know that we should live with each other, in respect and love.
The truest God is perfect like we all can come to be,
for if you really understood life, you will see that God is simply you and me.

    A very thought provoking poem, and I must say... right up my alley. My favorite poems are poems about existence, God, the universe and deep concepts such as this poem you have written here. You bring up the idea that:

    "maybe our real salvation lasts in our very own might."

    "why should we look for God"

    "for if you really understood life, you will see that God is simply you and me."

    There is some logic in your ideals here when you say that God is simply you and me. Just as it would be true If I told you that you are simply a product of your Mom And Dad. It is their essence that created you, and you are a product of them, so theoretically you are... your Mother and Father. We are all Gods children... thus we are all a product of God. thus one could say we as life... are God.

    But... Just as you and your parents have separate bodies, inside this thing we call existance(matter) So too does God and His only begotten Son have their own bodies. What makes Christs Body so unique however is that by and through Him, we can be made perfect. Why do we need to made perfect, you may ask. Well... the simplest way to put it would be to read my poem "oneness". A more complex way to put it would be to read my poem "put within it all". And... to expand on it even further... read my poem "existence is a bead of light"
    I will tell you that God and Jesus both exist, and they are two separate intelligences. And through and by them... the great drama of existencs could be playe out. We are all God int he making! for just as your parents want you to exel to their hieght and beyond. So too do our Heavenly parents. God Bless

    You may be on your way to being a mystic poem but you and me are not on the same page God is an all good we may accept or reject

    I like the almost ironic twist at the end. Very nice poem and writing, but like I've said before, try working on your flow and breaking things up a bit more. Very nice poem, though.

    "The truest God is perfect like we all can come to be,
    for if you really understood life, you will see that God is simply you and me." That is my favorite line. Love it! Again, amazingly written!
