Felt In This World

Felt as if I were a stranger amongst family.
	A mere shadow puppet on the wall.
	The whispers that enraged me deeply.
	From all the distasteful, shameful,
	ungrateful words that had been spoken. 
	Utter silence drifting away, 
	the darkness starts to reign.
	Sincerity's all so superficial beauty shines brightly, 
	blinding us from the true light burning within.
	Rebelliously our selfish motives, 
	and lustful attitudes, 
	ruthlessly are felt thru out the land.
	Emotionless thoughts,a lack of wisdom, 
	Aimlessly wandering about, 
	consuming everything in it's path.
	Leaving "heart aches" as distraactions, 
	felt dining the war within the chains of bondage.
	Keeping us slaves of death.
	Our "seeds of faith" never failing,
	surrendering to our human nature.
	Repenting with our bankrupted souls.
	His grace,given with forgiveness 
	and love.
