A Saviour Is What We Need

why?
why won't you save another,
why don't you save someone,
 you would like to be saved when you are in need

you think you deserve it more?
oh wait,
maybe it is they who don't deserve any.

maybe you are right,
I guess not.

they are nobodies.
and you are too.
we all are nobodies

nobody will save nobody.

all we have is to wait, 
is to wait for the return,
of our Saviour!
that will save us all!

save us all from ourselves and sins
that's eating us up
day by day 
even our bones
and souls

you wouldn't save you if you had the chance to 
so why save them or me?

Hi Anna I really like this poem about the arrival of a saviour in the end of times, I do believe the that Jesus Christ(Peace be upon him) who was lifted to Heavens by God will return in the end of Times as a Saviour.

Thankfully Jesus didn’t save Himself. If He had we would all be doomed. It is hard to understand how God can Love us when at times we have such hatred for ourselves. Thankfully God does not view us with earthly eyes.

yes, that is very true. I agree and just feel blessed knowing how great God loves us even though at times we don't love Him back but in spite of that He loves us

A really beautiful written poem, you re not the only person who s waiting for the Saviour of the world, I myself is anxiously waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ and want to experience his company, he ll come just wait and have patience as he said that the son of man will come like thiefs in the night, so it s not clear when but it will be unexpected and really powerful, as he also said as lighting jot in east and here in west so shall be the coming of son of man, good luck
