Izzy Gumbo Poet I do not know?

'owed' To 'God'

We suck.
Honestly,
for if tHere
be Creator,
we’ve made
them out to be
‘haters’, baiters,
facilitators of pain
and punishment in
judgment of our ‘sins’.
If I were ‘Them’,
I’d ***** slap us.

What if…
We really are created
in the image of…then what?
No wonder we struggle with
guilt and sin because if we ARE in
the image of Creator … can you imagine?

Here’s the deal… there is Know Such a Thing
Creator wouldn’t punish in judgment of anything
Destroy such precious generations of life
and that’s right… we’ve been ‘here’
a very Long Time for reason
through countless seasons
breathing surviving
existing over Time.
We grew. Learned
yearned, cared to
dare and Became.
Aware,
We invented
debated, moved
over lands and
Pro.Created. Grew
schools, organized rules
in towns growing over grounds
into cities of abundant sounds.

Do we know exactly how ‘delicate’
we ARE in this Universe? How almost
impossibly improbable our existence even is?
You being here, now at this moment
in this space of real time current
reading this silly little rhyme
is THE definition of Time.

We Owe it to God,
because the truth is?
We’re pretty hard
on ourSelves.

All things considered.

Simone Segal October 30, 2009 at 9:37 AM If we are in his image, we should all realize, we have the power of creation too, thought, must have come before creation, and everything in this world, is created from thought! we become what we think about,I believe our destiny is where our thoughts take us, must go, just going to create a cup of coffee! lol love Simone

Sue Mason October 26, 2009 at 3:00 PM Love this one, Izzy ... Why? ... because it reeks of TRUTH ... at least from my point of view ... smile ... There might be a Spirit of the Universe that is our collective consciousness, but, there is for me NO GOD in any religious sense of that word. Thanks for bringing your talent and ideas to the Soup !!

Izzy Gumbo October 26, 2009 at 1:40 PM It's interesting you say that Sara... again, not having read the book, but if it's true that 'all things were created by God'... then I think 'Satan' IS the misunderstanding that perhaps has been 'mixed up' I always appreciate you reading and giving such open and thoughtful comments. :)

Izzy Gumbo October 26, 2009 at 12:36 PM Audrey, thanks for the comment, I'm not sure where most of this writing comes from...I've never read the bible nor attended 'church'. I do believe we don't love ourselves in as much abundance as it was ... 'written' to be all about... in the beginning. I just see this all as huge effort on Gods part (based on Genes 1 to ...where ever I am). I can only speak for myself and yes, I am pretty hard on mySelf at time. You?

Audrey Haick October 26, 2009 at 12:30 PM Izzy, Do you really believe, 'the truth is we're pretty hard on ourselves' or am I misunderstanding your write? Peace, Audrey

Sara Kendrick October 26, 2009 at 12:16 PM God loves us but the question is do we love him. Satan is the author of all sickness, sin,etc. Every good and perfect gift is from above. We as people get it mixed up sometimes. Keep writing. Sara
