Spirtually Imperfect

People look for spiritual meaning, 

in the strangest of ways 

while others are declaring 

these are the end of days. 

 

Yes, God speaks about it in the bible, 

the coming of the son 

but why would he just alert the few 

for his plans to become undone. 

 

I am not churchy, 

Never have been 

But I still believe 

And of course, I do sin. 

 

I try not to judge others, 

Even if they judge me 

But I am just human 

And that is plain to see. 

 

I don’t disregard my sinful side, 

nor do I feel ashamed 

I was made as I am 

so why would I complain? 

 

I was prompted to write this piece, 

for some explanation 

and though I owe you none 

might this be your revelation? 

 

People are who they are, 

We are created in god’s light 

and he is the only perfect one 

if people get their story right. 

 

I do not know the bible well, 

nor even word for word 

but I suppose I know enough 

from every story heard. 

 

So, I will end this detailed piece, 

with a simple, sweet goodbye 

and blessings for my new friends 

whoever question why.

We are eternal souls born into a sin nature world. Those who come to know God and Christ then work toward a love nature. Yes we are imperfect living in a more and more evil society but it is our own free will choices that define us. I really enjoyed reading this it is a very good poem thank you
