Stake Your Claim (On God's Heart)!

Stake your claim on God's heart if you're looking for gold,
There are nuggets to find there; no snake oil gets sold,
Philosophical sophistries, fake news, et al.,
(Up for grabs) are the 'muffs of diseased whores' on call!
Are the loveless betrayed when they get what they paid for,
(Or their pain more deserved?), 'road to hell' just an encore?
Should saints(?) pray for God's Grace when the self-righteous sin
Or get out of their way? Lemming's rush! Cliff's chagrin!
As we drown in man's feces, should TRUTH 'throw us ropes?'
Is man's 'truth,' "lost are lost, and misanthropes sad dopes?"

When you feel that you love, have you "grabbed the 'gold' ring?"(1)
Does to grok that you're 'LOVED' mean you have everything
Of real value, my friend? Doesn't Bible suggest,
That we humbly trust God, that the rich man invest
All the wealth that God gives him in 'love for his brothers?'
Is your 'feast invitation,'(2) God's Grace or your druthers?
Isn't Christ the true Bridegroom? Who's honored by God?
Can the 'Church' (all 'indwelled' ones) deserve 'Love?' That's odd!
Or is Bride (one He weds) there in spite of her flaws?
Do man's dreams rule this marriage or 'LOVE' birth all 'LAWS?'

Poet's Notes:
(1) 'To grab the gold ring:' To take a chance and reach for some goal or desire. 

Origin: In past times when children got on a carousel at a carnival or an amusement park, a child fortunate enough to be riding on the outside would have a chance to reach for and grab a gold (or brass) ring just barely within reach, so some risk was involved. This ring was a token the child could exchange for a prize of some kind (often a ticket to ride again at no charge).
(2) 'feast invitation:' The "wedding feast" where the 'indwelled' (God’s Church) become the Bride of Christ.
