There is only so much
A fool can do
Since he or she can do nothing
That is beyond their foolish thoughts
Like a goldfish in fish tank
Swimming in confined waters
It may seem pretty
It may seem grand
From the eyes of goldfish
Looking out from the fish tank
Perhaps feeling admired
But from those outside
Looking in
It cannot be more sad
To look at the gold fish
To look at the fool
Trapped in the confines
Of the fish tank
Of their foolishness
No matter from which angle

Hardly Resembling
Let's suppose Jesus was Christ
God in the form of flesh and blood
The King of Kings
Who came and died for our sins
So we can be saved from eternal damnation
That is the gospel
Preached around the world
Salvation by grace
Not by works
That we are all sinners
But what gets lost in translation
More often than not
Not by gospel spoken or written
But by what is lacking in demeanor
By what is not portrayed and emphasized
Is the fact that Jesus
Was born in a barn
Grew up as a carpenter
And while he preached as adult
Had no home
No horse or donkey to ride on
Spent most of his time with those
Considered low class and sinners
And no financial wealth
In effect
God was truly humble
In the perspective of humans
In this society
Not showing an ounce of pride
Of being God
Christ
Because He loved each and everyone
Genuinely hoping that we all enter
Heaven and live eternally in joy
His humility is insurmountable
By no one in this world
Since no one can be greater than God
Not even close
But sad as it may be
What actually happens in this world
Especially in the religious realm
The degree of humility one exudes
Is inversely proportional
To the self perceived status
In the hierarchy of the church
So that those on the top
Rarely
Perhaps not at all
Thinks they are any less or equal
To those on the bottom
According to their own self esteem
And ego
Hardly resembling
Jesus about whom they preach

What If
What if rules the world
Everyone trying their best
To prepare for what if
Exploiting the fear of what if
Selling and buying products
Based on what if this
Or that happens
But while alive
Not many people seem to care
About the certain what if
After death
There really is heaven and hell
And judgement
And what if Christianity
Jesus Christ
Is really the truth
Despite all the what ifs in the world
That may or may not happen
Which usually doesn't happen
The one thing that is sure to happen
The end of life and death
Many are playing Russian Roulette
Until it is too late
And what if turns out to be
What truly is
Everyone trying their best
To prepare for what if
Exploiting the fear of what if
Selling and buying products
Based on what if this
Or that happens
Like a car accident
What if it happens
So buy the insurance
What if an earthquake occurs
Earthquake insurance
What if I get sick
Medical insurance
What if I die
What if it happens
So buy the insurance
What if an earthquake occurs
Earthquake insurance
What if I get sick
Medical insurance
What if I die
Life insurance
This of course is somewhat misleading
As the dead don't come back alive
So the insurance is for the living
But they call it life insurance
So the living can go on living
Possibly in better financial situation
