Of A Christian

It would be nice
To be able to do something
Anything if possible
So that the outcome after death
Whatever that may be

Can be dictated by
Your actions while alive
Ending up somewhere good
After death
Eternal life in heaven perhaps

The reason why so many
Reject Christianity
Since there is really nothing 
You can do to change 
The outcome

Other than to admit that
You are a sinner by default
And accept Jesus as someone
Who is son of God who
Died for your sins instead

After asking for forgiveness
For your sins
Which is all that is truly
What it takes to get to heaven
Just simple admission and faith

But the intelligent will not have it
Since they have to find their own way

The proud will not have it
Since they will never admit to being sinners

The intelligent will not have it
Since it is too simple

The proud will not have it
Since they are not considered VIP

So that the combination of 
Being intelligent and proud
Is damned to begin with
Precisely the reason why
They go about searching 

For that right recipe 
Perfect logic
Only they can understand
To feel proud to be 
So intelligent to have found 

The way to preserve their pride
And intelligence 
While maintaining control
Of the destiny which is unknown 
Hoping to change the destiny

Whatever that may be
Having faith in their own intellect
Or the intellect of other men
Here today gone tomorrow
Or long gone already

Gone 
To nowhere remotely close
Not even microscopically resembling
Their imaginary destination 
Drawn up by their proud intellect

From the point of view
Of a Christian
