Poem
so you tell me that God does not exist. I reply why do we have this life in the first place? Is it just a race to see who has figured out how short this life is. I have friends, I have family and other folks that I want to continue to see. you know I had to ponder on that thought for a while longer. if you cannot believe in God, then answer some of these questions for me. Why are we here for? What's the reason, is it for a short time or just a season? all the people you have in your life important to you or some kind of idea for you. the idea that as soon as its over you don't have to think anymore about it, Just as quickly as it comes it goes away. that's a slave. Then you have to accept love, it does not last. You can say you have it for a short while and once dead, you just think it was all in your head. your life was nothing but a dream. For who? Who would work so hard on this dream? You just think it just appeared out of nowhere, just to return to nowhere and nothing. How did it last this long? why are we doing all this work for something that could not make it last? You mean to tell me that everything I look at is all just a lie? I take it that the good that come of myself and others and the work I do is all in vain? you sound more insane than the belief that God is not real. What's the deal? you may look at the people in your life and tell them when they are dead you don't have to worry about seeing them ever again and they can feel the same way about you. but I can't do that. I know that eternity is for us. My feelings are not short lived. I care to see my mom and dad together also my sister, brother, friends together and living with me. I can't say I eternally love you temporarily. You are bold in what you say to me about your own life is nothing more than a temporary fantasy, something was able to work for a short while before it's all over.
