Notes About The Poem

Written July 13, 2023 for contest but withdrawn as I can't follow rules lol

Life is a Bullfight

“Serving two masters one can’t win
The One true God is Savior from sin”
                            Quote by poet

Like a black bull in a china cabinet 
One can do much damage in sin
Especially if so lost and focused on
Things and worldly people of passion
That the soul and the Word is abandoned 

Life is a bullfight and we all want to win
Satin means to distract derail destroy
But what one means for evil 
God will bless for good for
His ways are not our ways

So at times in life one may be the bull
Other times the red distraction
But as we grow in God we will see 
How He becomes our salvation
God is the Matador and 
He will always win the bullfight

What a powerful write this is dear Karen, poetic soul, I would like to quote the line of yours "Life is a bullfight and we all want to win" how incredibly true is that?!! I see that everywhere! It feels like also a rat race! Which I no longer want to compete in. The ending is so very soulful! I see wisdom through your words! And I love the cadence of this write! Pleasure reading you today ~ Sending you light always ...
