Indeed Is A Truly Preposterous

How amazing is life
That sense of self awareness
Freedom to think
Feel pain and joy

To love
To know that you are
Alive and living
Wanting to live

Some pains are too
Hard to bear in life
Feelings too sad to go on
Driving one to end it

But most will cling
For dear life to go on
To continue the state
Of being alive

Until inevitably all
Not even one spared
Who are alive now or
The future

Face the end
The last sun rise
The last breadth
Not even one spared

But those who accept
Jesus Christ as the lord
And savior who died for
Your sins and damnation

Will live forever in heaven
In peace love and harmony
Without sadness or death
Forever and ever

Which is not one bit less
Amazing or more preposterous
Than to believe that
In this vast universe

With billions and billions
Of galaxies and stars
Somehow you are self aware
Alive on this planet

By chance and sheer luck
Of evolution
Born to live and die
To enjoy a momentary spirit

Indeed is a truly preposterous
Meaningless and unbelievable
Hopeless notion
That has no basis on truth

No Time

Matter can be converted into energy
As Einstein has proved

Which means in theory
Energy can be converted into matter

But what about time
What is time but a measure of
Point A to point B

A byproduct of matter
And energy

No matter
No energy
No time

Regarding Many Things

Another year goes by
Like the airplane
That passes over your head

And another year of wasted
Attempts to convince Christians
That God's views are wrong

Regarding many things
From the perspective of
Godless

The grand display of foolishness
The degree of arrogance
The proud human soul

In the face of death
That is sure to come
Soon or later

Not realizing the fact
That the opinion of a tree
Is irrelevant in the face of an ax

As A Consolation

If there is one good outcome
That is evident from all chaos and
Confusion in Trump White House

Is that whatever is happening
In your own place of occupation
Does not seem all that terrible

Compared to the ugly drama
That is ensuing in Washington
And yet to surface in DC Metro

In fact it may very well
Pale in comparison

For whatever it may be worth
As a consolation

Beyond Your Control

As far as misconceptions go
None is more misguided than
Thinking that each individual
Is in control of his or her destiny

The future that lies ahead
The schools one will attend
Occupations and jobs attained
Health and longevity of life

So many will try
And try they must as none
Will win the race without
Preparation and hard work

But so many will fail
To attain what they hoped
Not because of lack of effort
Nor lack of accomplishments

But the door did not open
The opportunity did not come by
Just did not happen perhaps
At the wrong time and place

Like so many professional
NBA players each with exceptional
Abilities to reach even that far
Not winning a championship

None can take credit
For what has been given
That may seem absolutely
Credit worthy to self

Without taking into account
That even with the best
Of the best in fishing pole
Line and bait

The end result is
Beyond your control
