Life Poem

I do not believe in a God, necessarily. But I believe in godliness. I do not wish to be a saint but I think I am saintly enough. I do not consider myself so sinful but must have fun and enjoy temptations. I do not consider myself so evil but there might be a reason why backwards evil spells live. Maybe with both directions is what it takes to give. If life is evil and evil is life. Let me do both in peace without malicious judgement and spite. If you do not mind. But where or what is your mind?

Oh I really like this. So true to the point and a good representation of what it is to be living and how conflicting it can be!

I believe life is just a learning experience. We are all subject to temptations, all capable of love and hate, most of us fall short but then again I believe we are expected to fall short. Whether we are judged, how we are judged is a conundrum we cannot answer. Great work Daniel.

Dan: I judge not, least I be judged. However: I believe there is "a judge" and sooner or later, I will be judged and will come up "short". For all have sinned and come "short". I trust "His Son" to sort us out based on His standards not ours. Don't mean to preach but feel strongly about sins and sinners and my Hope about all that. Keep them coming. oldbuck

I don't think you are evil! Life is not evil but precious. Interesting piece MR. Schack! I have some Hebrew National Franks and matzo if you are interested. B'Shalom Mattthew Anish
