Christ Gifts the World With 'sin-Colored Lenses'
1. Faith
I know people who view life through 'lenses (rose-colored),'
and others who 'trumpet' God's death with "Heil Hitler!"
The first group attempts to cloak naked ambitions
in translucent fabric and dreams their sin vanquished
(because they purport to 'forgive sin' in others).
What magic heals victims we find in bar ditches? (1)
Should these thank the Gods folks don't take what thieves left them
as we pass them by? Have dismissive acts virtue?
The second vouchsafe to say strength's owned by statue,
and gain (when gain's found) proves the province of mayhem,
claim God of this world hates the poor man, loves riches,
not Eve (Man's true mother), but choice should brand 'brothers!'
If my 'gifts' loom greater, are blood's rights relinquished?
Can children choose genes? Don't you see prohibitions?
Are you your true creation - more God's pup or **star*?
I think of "dead stars as my parent" (feels gentler!)
2. Humility
Is 'TRUTH' Christ's 'WORDS ARE RIGHT,' that our best path's a humbler
path chosen by faith, that Self-Knowledge defines 'SIN?'
To claim that you 'know' that God loves you is sinful!
Our faith can't be knowledge, for we can't grok God, friend!
Though Truth can get shared, Truth's more water (we borrow)
and that's a whole TRUTH that most egos find lacking!
Humility dictates we grok that we can't know
for 'Faith' can fool Saints! A 'True Faith' blooms by questions!
Faith shared brings real blessings as others' suggestions
illuminate corners that might host inferno
if tender collects there! I pray for Light's backing.
All shadows are sins that portend a fresh sorrow!
Faith groks that all griefs are, in Truth, more a godsend
(suggestions for growth!) Pleas, explain how that's awful!
It's GOD'S TRUTH that Christ brings us though each man's a stumbler
(TRUTH -Stumbling's not sin!) Time's New Testament's Darwin!
