Tower of Kingdom Come

God lets us see life from every angle. Anklebiters that we are. Fist fighters, black-eyed contenders, snivelers. The boss looks down, looks into our eyes, looks at our feet, looks underneath. We don’t see the cobwebs between our fingers and toes, in our mouth and ears. Our hairdos make us look like weirdos, piled fry-high, like the bride of Frankenstein. Our hearts shoved into the easy-bake of childhood. Black-spider shades grip our nose and tether behind our ears, holding onto dendrites. White teeth flash their watermelon pits, black and blue. God lets us see from every angle. The dark spots hinder perfect sight, the dark holes below lower lashes, thinning lips, fattening thighs, exercising our rights, but mostly wrongs. I hear the gong...not many do. Do we belong to the world or to our God? Is this yet Babylon. Our speech once babbled, have we forgotten? Why do you think we don’t all speak the same language? Scientists prove there’s been a worldwide flood. Jesus walked the earth and the sun. Now you see the one world coming together. Remember what happened last time the world did this — were we not scattered? Scientists say there was a continental divide — this once united mass. Indeed we are anklebiters, curtain climbers, toddlers. God lets us find our own stray. Can we find our own way? 1/6/2021 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 KJV

Only by following his teachings to the letter have we any chance of finding the path to salvation. We have to ask ourselves are we on that path or do we only follow it when it doesn't interfere with our busy lives here on earth. Tom

Through his word, by his spirit, at least the recognition of write and wrong by the Lord, letting him guide us. God bless!

Very well written, Kim. There is only one way to bliss, narrow true, but that is the only way. However God is compassionate and will help us until the end. ~~

Can we find our own way, meant more as our way is no good. We must find the Lord. He is the “true vine,” and without him we have no power. God bless and thanks so much for your comment.

A FAVE for me, but not this site today. I have tried to comment on this poem 8 times in a row. I am pretty much done with this antiquated system.
