Stephan McBride Poet Free verse

Reposted Black Friday, Parable To Broad Way, a Narrow Way

This is a parable how so many on the highway to death
Following and fighting over material things
Caught up in this world following the crowd

We have Jesus on the other end with the self check out


Have you found your bargain
So many will camp out
To get a present on a deal
The lines will wrap around
The outside doors 
When the door opens be careful
For they stampede in trying to enter
Many get injured if not fast or big enough
Everyone will get there gifts
They have been longing on
Then it's time to check out
And the lines are just as long
For we have called all the
Cashiers to the front and hired 
All that would work for seasonal help
But the lines are just constantzc
My friend over to far right side
They have this new register
With not many seeing it
There is no waiting or lines over here
The problem is you will have 
To check yourself out 
But this register is much different
There will be one to turn on your light
To let others know you have
Now entered into a working progress
Place your hatred through here
And love will come through
Scan your envy and giving you receive 
Keep working we ain't done yet
For this has to be done through
Each person that comes through this line
Have any questions about any barcodes
The answers for all are
Placed under the light
Only problem is if you
choose this line
Before you are able to go
Through the door to receive your gift
Your old self will have to remain in the store
And the new creation and living being
Shall have a chapparone 
That will open the door to everlasting life
Love you all ,

If you are reading I will not give up on you. Love ya
This is  a parable my friends I do not fight the crowds
Broad is the highway to death, few on the path to life

Valsa George April 7, 2023 at 8:52 PM Through the Black Friday frenzy to hoard things, you have brought in a lofty message... the one who chooses a different line, will have to leave his old self behind and get into a new creation. Such wisdom and grace are there in your verse, dear Stephan! May God bless you ! Stephan McBride April 8, 2023 at 1:07 PM All glory to God, my dear friend, Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13?-?14 KJV May God bless, comfort guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )

Constance La France December 21, 2022 at 12:14 PM Stephan, wonderful write. I am not one to stand in lines for anything ever. I have come to the enlightenment that material things are meaningless, we cannot take them with us to the other side. But, I do love my stuff even if a $1.00 thrift store treasure, lol, blessings Stephan McBride December 21, 2022 at 2:14 PM LOL that's hilarious, yeah me to , yeah I definitely once was in that crowded line not knowing until they came up with that check your self out register, then God revealed to me I needed to allow Him to work on me : )
