My Nihilism Diagram

Seven speed shifter, psyche developer 
                       Driver of this life's gifts 
                 Segments which send pleasure 
                       Usually provide benefit

                 Elements which feed me, kept
                     Fear is happily discarded
                 All household doors open, left
                  To bring fragrance of garden

                     Head geared with genres
             Clarity comes from more interests
                  Eighty year tenure, an honour
                  Retribution, useless splinters

                   Human trait known, universal 
                    Drawn to lean, need to listen 
                Compassion heeded in excursion
                  Care turns my each day ignition 

                 Centred between birth and death
                    Racer on track wound cyclic
               Perpetual explorer gathers, forgets
                  Next corner potential, enticing

                     Avoiding explosive crashes
               Rock is within, grown authenticity
                     No single book ear bashes
             Faith follows a compass of decency 

               God, World's most weighted name 
                     His name is like a Ferrari
            Fantasy vehicle, an on-screen game
                 But a Ford serves me entirely 

                 Trials and tribulations happen
                   Disasters hit Christians too! 
              Self help allows a quicker reaction 
          Blame taken squarely if tragedy ensues

              Building fine structure takes effort
                 Ten old rules crush me in dust
         Freedom's breadth calls me to protect it
                Outside doctrine, it's me I trust
