Colin James Platt Poet Rhyme

End of Life

End of life 
When will it be? 
What is life? 
Who can tell me? 
Surely the church would know 
In its high and mighty stature 
Towering above the city in splendor 
Sharing its love for those in need 
Keeping its knowledge from those who read 
Forgetting the poor if need be 
Remembering the rich for its own greed 
Who can explain the unending need of man for God? 
Spirit will soar above the spires of men 
Destined for who knows where or when 
Can man remain upon the Earth 
when fire and flood will someday come 
We are but seconds in the days of life 
Destined to die in mortal strife 
God in his wisdom high above 
Looks down on us with his perfect love

Gordon Mcconnell July 27, 2014 at 10:15 AM well done Colin, this really rhymes well with nice flow too with God honouring script. God bless, Gordon Colin James Platt July 28, 2014 at 5:17 AM Thank you, Gordon. I do try to keep religion out of the picture normally, but not always. Regards, Colin.

Rev. Elizabeth Anderson July 26, 2014 at 8:34 PM Enjoyed you poem. True emotions. I love it when I read and than, sit back and think about the feeling the poet put on paper. Blessings.

Casarah Nance June 24, 2014 at 8:20 AM Great thoughts, it is a wonder, the why's of god. I think that is why so many people now say they believe in god but not in the church, humanity warps and twists the messages. Keep putting your thoughts to the page and write on friend =) Colin James Platt June 24, 2014 at 6:58 PM Thank you, Casarah. I try to put into words the never ending thoughts which I feel I must relate to people. I thank you once again for reviewing.
