The Simple Truth
I had a talk with god today,
I had to share what he had to say.
He told me of the simple truth,
Our selfish way's will make us lose.
For this gift of life he has given us,
Such a wonderous thing this valued trust.
The very thing's we take for granted,
Our life , our uniqueness,
our strength's to us he handed.
He meant for us to give unselfishly
to continue living.
NOT By destroying other's
to achiecve our selfish bidding,
For this world ,this life goes
so much further then us.
It's in sharing his love,
faith,and hope in our nativity cusp.
It's much easier to give graciously ,
And much harder to take so selfishly.
If we'd share the abundant love within ,
Our world would be as in heaven
and not the hell in which we're living.
Why do we torment ourselves for decietful gain.
Causing our own stress and all this pain?
We all know we're meant to love and to give.
Instilled within god hoped we'd abide by and by this we'd live.
We've forgotten the knowledge god put in our mind.
That would solve the suffering we continue to fight.
If all would see past themselves and beyond.
Give and help each other is how this world would live on.
But we choose to cling to our selfishness .
And live by greed and all this lust.
The hope ,faith human trust would rebuild in all we seek to trust.
Acheiving power by giving and ending all greed.
Is all this world desires and it's all we need.
What he gave to us whole heartedly.
And shown to us unselfishly.
That this power is to give
and in that is to live.
But thus we choose to live to destroy and deprive.
And god's truth We never see until the day we die,
The very love he bestowed on all of us,
Was given to all and all he's cares and loves.
He had a vision in his heart for us you see,
His plan was that we'd give the gift he given both you and me .
I give the gift of word's he gave to me.
I put them on paper for all to see.
I say again he told me so,
So listen intently for all must know.
He had no selfish desires when he made all woman and man .
All he asked was To cherish each other and all we have and that was his only plan .
See it's so easy to live simply by this
God spoken to me these word's are his.
