The Book of Life

The Book Of Life.
.
I earnestly searched for the book of life
I looked in every store
I always got the same answer
‘’We never had one
Have you tried next door?’’
.
My endless quest finished fruitless
And I gave up my restless endeavour
I began to think
Of life never existed ever
.
But one day
I came across an old book shop
And looked around
I came across a book covered in dust
Nicely bound
.
As I turned the pages
I finally knew
I found the book I’d been searching for all my life
And my quest was over my dream 
Finally come true
.
Although old and tatty
The words inside told the truth
And the mystery and key to life
Was no longer aloof
.
It’s prophecy
Is the best advice to living and life
Even for today
But so many don’t want it
And blindly turn away.
.
The book
The Bible
Its the only book you need 
To be happy and content
And shouldn’t cost a cent
.
In a chaotic world where people ask questions
What is happening to the problematic world today
I say
What we see now happening in the world
Was prophetized long ago  
Man has lost his way
And only God can save us now today.
