Notes About The Poem

BIG BOUT HERE

How do you figure/ life is temporary ...?
Are you too busy living to die...?
Do you continue to do the opposite of what feels right.?

Do you know what you were sent here to do? -
Death is inevitable.

It's the one thing that you know is true,
You are big bout here, but
Rich people die every day.

So, do poor people, the difference 
being they had little to spare,
Yet most would still share.!

Shared, their little, but you have not,
Shared not even a little, of your whole big lot.

You will arrive back with nothing -
As you came here with nothing.

Were your obligations neglected
When much was expected.?

Did you deliberately act selfishly?
When much was required.?

Could you have spared a dime?
We’re not you blessed with worldly desires.?

Have you cause harm - 
Or abusing a child - Do you delight in war -?
Did you bully people or countries
less fortunate than yourself?

Did you kill for no reason – 
Or cause another to stumble-?

Did you continue to do what felt?
Wrong; Just to feel good?
Practice hedonism at all cost?

Then you have got a big surprise coming
When this life comes to a halt.

Most guilty blame others and name them as a fault.
No sacrifice did you make to change;
You were found and rescued once.

THOUGH seemed to enjoy being lost. 
No benefits of sacrifice shall you receive;
A fair exchange ain't, no robbery;

As God cannot be swayed or bribed-
"brother, can you spare a dime? You heard his plea
Yet you declined, paid him no mind.

Yet God gave you time to get it right...
Silver and gold... Were your benefits
On earth.
But when your empty heart is weighed
"what are you really worth?"

No substance and a great big hole...destined
To be stuck, with an empty soul...!
Remember on earth when you were 
"big bout here" –

The times you had no ears to hear
Or cared to even spare a dime.
Had no pity, nor a need to be kind...
Now pleading with God to hear your mind...
