Victor Buhagiar Poet Free verse

Only Fools Think So

Pray for us sinners,
for indeed sinners we are.
In love with our immorality,
wallowing in our faults,
repeating our transgressions.
 
The world applauds us 
in complete agreement
with our fetid fallacies.
We are important only if
we indulge in our heinous,
scandalous and contemptible
affairs of the world.
 
There's time enough to right
any of our errant and gross sins.
Wealth pours in and all worldly worthy things
that pushes us to indulge 
our lust and greed.  For think on it,
there's time enough to make amends!
 
Upon the hill a Man once shed His blood,
even up to the last drop.
Thus did He redeem all men.
But only if they repent.
It is a two way traffic
in our contract for salvation.
So are you sure there's time enough?
Only fools think so.

Michael Tor July 29, 2022 at 9:16 PM Victor love your wisdom in your excellent message of faith. "So are you sure there is time enough?" "Only fools think so." So true my friend, for Jesus says today is the day of Salvation waiting is risking eternal damnation. Excellent as always my friend your message speaks loudly, lets hope those that are not saved take head and action and ask our Lord Jesus Christ to come into their hearts and repent of their sins, it is that easy to receive but you must be sincere and truly change. Blessings.

Bill Baker July 29, 2022 at 1:37 PM Excellent witness poem, Victor. A message that continues to be needed. He has overcome the world, and so can we through Him. Blessings my friend, Bill

Robert Gorelick July 29, 2022 at 11:48 AM It's so easy to fall into the wages of sin, especially when young and more tempted and pressured. Great write should be taken to heart. Robert

Kim Rodrigues July 29, 2022 at 6:40 AM Well said, Victor! This is poignant. I hope those that are hanging on the boundary give thought and cross the line from death to life. Love the line “wallowing in our faults.” That could mean playing in them but also replaying them in thought. Neither is productive. Hugs ~ Kim

Unseeking Seeker July 28, 2022 at 11:57 PM What is sin but ignorance? Delusion of separateness. Once ignorance is no more, suffering is no more.

Harry Horsman July 28, 2022 at 11:12 PM Amazing poem, Victor, In the world today, its the infamous, that are lauded. Truly gets to me, this shifting sands of the human race..To my favourites.

Eve Roper July 28, 2022 at 10:26 PM So true , we have to face what is coming right or wrong.. Bless us Oh Lord.

Evelyn Judy Buehler July 28, 2022 at 11:56 AM The wisdom of this wonderful poem is undeniable. Delaying or putting off salvation and a relationship with God, is always wrong. Life is short, and could end in a moment. Beautifully written.

Vladislav Raven July 27, 2022 at 2:06 PM Hi Victor, the words of your message are so true. No matter how much we think we have our time on earth is actually short and what we do here does affect us when we enter the kingdom. I think I shall definitely heed the warning Victor. Have a wonderful evening. Your friend always ..... Mike.

Mystic Rose Rose July 27, 2022 at 9:26 AM sometimes we always think we have lots of time, better live as if its our most treasured one, aside Christ the Son :)

Sara Kendrick July 27, 2022 at 9:11 AM Most people think they are 9 feet tall and bullet proof. They do not think death will come to them at least not until....I enjoyed reading this one. Very effective in relaying your message. I am glad that I chose it to read today. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Jennifer Proxenos July 27, 2022 at 8:02 AM I think everyone sins to a lesser or greater degree but your poem explains very clearly that it is only fools that don't repent and land up in an eternity of hell. a clever write. A FAVE. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Valsa George July 27, 2022 at 4:39 AM What a dire warning ! But alas, such warnings fall in deaf ears ! We become so indulgent that we hardly experience any sense of contrition and go on with our sinful ways ! Powerful reminder, dear Victor !

Tom Cunningham July 27, 2022 at 12:59 AM The warnings are clear Victor and only fools ignore them. Tom
