Casting All 'My' Gods Aside
Casting All 'My' Gods Aside!
Let us cast Gods aside if false praise buys salvation,
our actions make Grace less germane (bring us blessing),
and pride (I am ‘saved’) means I judge those who aren’t!
Let us praise God who judges the righteous, the sinner
with Grace, raise “Amen!” when ‘His Truth’ helps the soul’s heart
acknowledge God’ IS’ (when man’s dreams all devolve)!
*
Let us drown man held ‘truth’ if demise lifts the Nation
of Life buoyed by fathers’ blood gifts, confessing
who stands on strong shoulders won’t share the full brunt!
Let’s get honoring God’s not a menu for dinner.
It loves what gets served! It’s by faith, we’re ingrained, part
of plans for His Kingdom, though God’s ‘dreams’ evolve. (1)

Let us question all ‘truth’ that shows glints of self-serving,
and Truth that’s convenient to what the flesh lusts for,
not ‘Truth’ that “I AM” (in fact “IS”), died for Love!
Let us dwell less on death, though it’s part of the package,
death’s vision’s refinement, its lenses add color!
Death’s win? Tooth extraction. All done! Life goes on!
*
Let’s bear witness false pride is the death of deserving,
deserving’s a gift, and not earned but a favor!
Give praise to God’s hand that put’s on ‘human glove!’
Let us credit the Bridegroom who doesn’t take umbrage
that Paul dreams just pride in Christ’s Love means (Paul’s) humbler
than those far less blest (as he waves his baton!) (2)

Poet’s Notes:
(1) Life on earth evolves, is not fixed. Therefore, if God is real, He must evolve
as well! QED. What human mind can forbid God from changing? That is vanity
most high!
(2) A fantastic thing about the Bible to me is that while it’s literal translators
fail to embrace that the Bible is not rocket science, but poetry meant more for
children, their efforts do not stain the Bible itself. Despite the temptation of
priests (and parsons) to elevate Biblical disciples to Sainthood, the Bible itself
makes it clear over and over, in so many unique ways, that no human comes
close to saving themself by ‘right’ action in God’s eyes (His Justice). Grace was
always, and will always be, the only salvation for human souls, I humbly suggest, even before Christ’s birth. All are Saint's in Christ, before and after the flood!
