Life Is a Lie

Life is beautiful?
Tell me another lie.
Life is just life taking life so life doesn't die.
Whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian,
you are destroying life so that you can go on living,
because in order for one single life to survive,
thousands of other lives are required to die.
Life is not beautiful.
Life is a lie.

A beautiful poem for a beautiful start. T This world has many lies; the biggest lie is we want justice. You judged correctly, right/wrong not always right and wrong. Therefore, the next step is learning death to the flesh, and life from the Spirit. Romans 7:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
