The Deceptive Entity

Materialistic things fulfill us temporarily...trifling with our emotions, but their shallowness is discerned with bitterness: when they can't save a life even with invoked mercy so tense... as powerlessness turns into hopelessness; can faith help us make the painless transaction into the eternal realm, without fighting the menacing darkness bringing in a tremulous scream? Separating ourselves from the deceptive entity is the wisest thing humans can do, to avoid the misleading fact that anguish doesn't exist, or that regret isn't stronger than sympathy; sorrow is a passable trouble, which makes us somber, and somehow deepens the furrows on our sour faces! Prophets, saints and holy persons thought deeply and understood this, devoting their lives to a more rewarding vocation, which demanded great sacrifices in return for salvation; and today, in this era of sophistication and unbelief, do we see any real ones, not the impostors who seek fame, and proclaim their intrepid message to shelter themselves from blame? Unscrupulous financiers, like Madoff, and bankers drain accounts with remorseless intent, and when they are caught...they choose suicide over punishment; is this the world you like to live in...with fraudulent individuals, who cause tougher economic times to satisfy their greed at the expense of others? Questions can become doubts that draw a negative response to any survey, sacredness is valued more when we separate ourselves from the deceptive entity! Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
