Michael Jordan Poet Couplet

Simplistic Views

To love that which can not be loved
Is to accept grace from the Lord above

To hate that which should not be hated
Is to let one’s self be eternally degraded 

To think that which should not be thought
Allows your own soul to be easily bought

Most things in life are very easy to see
If you hold simplistic views like me

“It is what it is” and it always was
The reason why, “Just because”

What shall happen shall come to pass
Accept it gracefully and show your class

As you live out the story of your today
Let Jesus Christ guide your way

In doing so you will be able to see
The Lord guiding you to eternity

Vince Suzadail Jr. October 17, 2008 at 9:39 AM The best world leader would be age ten or under, before they learn to hate. Life usually becomes complicated due to twisted thinking. We create our own complications. Have a wonderful day, Michael. Vince
