Godless

Godless

There are without question
Too many heart wrenching
Undeniably maddening
Sad hopeless depressing
Tragedies in this world

Too much sorrow
Hunger, rage, suffering
Emotional , physical
And psychological

But the rest?
Godless
The rest is as equally tragic
If not physically demanding
Lives of well to do

Counting the wealth
Savoring the feelings
Of proud accomplishment
And entitlement

Tragedy lies not in having
Wealth or lack of suffering
But in sheer emptiness of life
In constant pursuit of purpose
And meaning of their existence

Injecting meaning
Into meaningless
And hope in hopeless
Specious conclusions

Requiring as much faith
As those who believe in God
Perhaps even more
Slowly but surely approaching
The deadline

Seahawks

So close yet so far
Gone

Like watching the stock
Shoot up
Right after you sell

Like seeing the man
Or woman of your dreams
And the moment passes by

So close yet so far
Gone

But it is better to lose
And be humbled

Than to win
And feel proud

For a man or woman
Who will not show humility

God will force humility
Upon them
