Best Religionlife Poems
To find the root of all evil,
One hasn't far to look.
It's not some shrouded mystery,
Concealed within a book.
The truth is right before your eyes,
It hasn't been concealed.
Eliminate the branches first,
And the root is revealed.
Let's look at money, first of all;
Could it be evil's source?
It makes us do the vilest things,
Without guilt or remorse.
More blood was spilled pursuing wealth,
Than any other goal.
And for the life money provides,
Some even sell their soul.
But if it were to be removed,
Along with earthly gain,
Erased from human history,
Evil would still remain.
The same is true of war and hate,
Of vanity and pride,
Of politics and religion,
And all things that divide.
Eliminate them, one by one,
And you will understand.
They're simply branches of the tree,
But they don't make it stand.
The root that gives life to them all,
Is right in front of you;
Sustained by every breath you take,
And everything you do.
It is the root of evil's tree,
The source of our Lord's tears,
Eliminate the human race,
And evil disappears.
So if you're looking for the root,
Can you accept what's true?
The answer is a damning one,
For evil's source...is you.
I have come to bring pain, fear and strife
To consume you with worry and not enjoy your life
Fill you with past regrets and mistakes
so that i will win the battle and make sure your heart breaks
I want to ensure you suffer constantly
not trusting the one above, the one who made me
Your life will be filled with constant sorrow
so that i don't have to worry about you living tomorrow
The hate and the fury I make you feel
Its just a joke, its for fun
It isn't real
I want you to be heavy burdened
and allow the plans God has to be deserted
You have to understand I don't care about you
All I want is your soul and make you feel blue
So take this letter and understand why
my plans for you are not high
Cling to me and I will give you everything you wanted
But dont complain when your disappointed
THE CHURCH AND THE GRAVEYARD
The Graveyard stood behind the Church,
Perhaps they are mysteriously compatible!
Through the front door of the Church you enter,
And with time, through the rear door you exit
and go ;
Forever mingling with Life’s eternal flow!
In the Church marriages are solemnized,
New born babies are christened and baptized.
Hymns and sermons are heard on Sabbath Days ,
And people kneel down in silence to pray.
Some to repent and confess ,
To seek salvation, and are blessed!
And when the older generation pass away ,
In the Graveyard behind, they are forever laid !
Yet amidst death, Life goes on......., -
With the peel of bells and chorus songs!
The world of the dead is surrounded by Life ,
Our younger generations live and thrive ;
For the Epitaph cannot bury Life’s song!!
Green grass grows around the dead,
And trees showers their flowers from overhead !
Bouquets of roses on cold marble slabs ;
A drop of tear the fond memory sheds,
In loss of the loved one, now in the world of
the dead!
While Life surges, swirls and flows all around,
As the dead lie in their graves in silence, -
without a sound!
New Life sprouts, and memories slowly fade….. ,
The Graveyard lies in the Church’s cool shade!
-By Raj Nandy, New Delhi .
A dreadful memory upon life’s sea
Returns to the days when life was carefree.
A spiritual youth faced the world alone.
Distracted by life and its sinful groan.
I thought that my Savior was by my side.
Whispers from Satan deceived my abide.
There is no God; it is a ruler’s toy.
To make men subservient was the ploy.
Scientists discovered we came from apes.
Questioning God, I ate bananas, grapes.
The devil deceived me with many lies.
Despite my souls whisper and needed cries.
I turned away from God for a short time.
When wisdom returned, life became sublime.

Release your anger and your hate
Stay on the straight and narrow before your final fate
Open up and get all your problems out
Conqueror your fears that’s what its all about
Revel in your existence be good and be true
And eternal life will be waiting for you
Believe in yourself when everyone seems to lack
Because once you’re gone you can never come back
Don’t stress about things that have no meaning at all
Just forget about it and never recall
Revel in your existence be good and be true
And eternal life will be waiting for you
Live like your one breath away from dying
Push yourself to succeed or die trying
Always kiss and make love like it’s the first time
Have faith in God don’t look to the sky for a sign
Revel in your existence be good and be true
And eternal life will be waiting for you
Pray everyday because you never can tell
Always listen to your guardian angel
Its all a test so be ready for the grade
Be good to others and pass and you’ll have it made
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.
I can imagine all that our Creator does see
As He watches from heaven above,
Every creature, every thing that He has made,
Every beauty, each thing how he must love.
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.
Can you imagine what it would feel like
To soar through the clouds way up above,
To kiss the edge of Heaven itself,
And feel the touch of God's own love.
Oh, if I had the wings of an eagle
How I could feel so free from earth beneath.
To soar to the very heights of the sky,
And enjoy the quiet of the clouds soaring by.
If I had the wings of an eagle
I would soar to the heights of the sky,
To look down on the beauty of life itself
And the marvels of creation from on high.
What is time?
Sound rhetorical but it isn't
Ill try to explain with sentences that
rhyme
It is something we take for granted,
something divine
But how much better would it be if
you could just press rewind
Time is a part of everything as water
is part of the living
When you have so little you don't
know what to do, when you have
too much you resort to killing
Time is a virtual stock market, how?
How can i compare time to NASDAQ
& DOW
Its simple, you invest in life like you
invest in stocks
Risks and reward is the name of the
game, but this market is regulated
by the clock
Goals and achievements make life
worth enduring
Spending it searching for wealth is
not a life worth alluring
Time can only be controlled by god
that's why i called it divine
Trying to find the way to paradise
with no metaphorical finishing line.
Many gods and goddesses may exist,
however, each one only portrays
the many personalities of one wholly
being when combined.
Our Mother cherishes us all but still
our inane habits inhibit the possibility
of a peaceful planet.
We take everything for granted not thinking
of the consequences of our many selfish actions.
Our Mother exists in everything we see and do,
still life displays a certain essence to cause
destruction, extinction or simply evolution.
Each of us behold the ability to change but our
stubbornness creates a false image of security,
wrapping us all in a thick layer of cotton-wool.
Pagan faith is a way of becoming one with
nature enabling us to see how precious life is.
Sadly, our subconscious makes us blind to the
fragmented forms of how life behaves; life can
suddenly become dark and flooded with fear
and melancholy making us see life in a
different light making many bitter and scarred.
Nature is the centre of pagan faith thus it is
seen as precious and is thus treasured and
deeply appreciated by all followers.
Many of us learn life’s most important
lesson at a turning point in our lives:
life can be altered in a blink of an eye,
like day surrendering to the night
setting free the all seeing eye, it
provides the only light through the darkness.
As inevitable as it may be, darkness
has to submit to light releasing the
slumbering spirits of life.
As I sit and reflect on this Easter Sunday.
Many things pass through my mind.
As I see Christ hanging on the cross,
knowing HE laid down his life for me.
So my life is, entrusted to thee.
He died, he rose, so new life began
I know you suffered on the cross
to deliver us, giving us eternal life.
You suffered so that I may live.
What more honor could you bestow
on me ,one of your sheep, saving me,
through your mercy, through your grace.
The promise of everlasting life.
God whispered into my ear one night
Woman thou art made clean
A new lease of life I have given thee
Like a tree that gives out new leaves
So shall your life be
And the fragrance of this life shall spread far and wide
To the dead and the lost and those around
And this tree that is planted by the water side
Forever shall it draw eternal life
And its leaves will never ever wither away
For the Angel of the Lord will guard it night and day
Thus the glory of God will shine through you
So that all that is written about you shall come true
Sometimes life can be confusing,
it doesn't always make much sense.
There is at least one person I can always count on,
when my life gets to intense.
At times it may go dark but,
there is always light at the end of every tunnel.
During the darkest times of my life, it was the Lord holding me down,
in the middle of the tornado funnel.
I was on the road to total destruction,
until I accepted Jesus into my soul.
What a difference there is with the Lord on my side,
I feel I now have a little bit of control.
The Lord will never fail me,
all I have to do is believe.
Do right by Him, by others and myself
and happiness I will receive.
I am experiencing many new beginnings,
I have also learned a new sense of relief.
All of my fears, my insecurities and my troubles will surely fade away,
leaving me with only Faith, Hope, Love, Trust and Belief.
My journey with the Lord has just begun,
I know I have a long way to go.
Honestly, I'm enjoying every minute with God,
while spiritually I continue to grow.
I cherish the moments I get to spend with the Lord,
our time together I will never take for granted.
God has done an amazing makeover to my soul,
every little seed has been planted.
I live my life day by day and
I'm confident living on the path that has been set for me.
I now have patience, I have trust, I have love in my life,
and in Jesus Christ is who I completely and totally believe.
good times bad times,
comes without warning signs,
people try waiting and anticipating,
looking at others and relating,
situations so they can prepare,
but in life problems always come when we are unaware,
i know its unfair,
thats why im here to bare with you
here to share with you,
how having faith can help you,
it cannot be fake it has to be true,
Love God and trust in him with your whole heart,
he knows the right course for you to plot on your chart,
with your life in his hands you'll be safe and secure,
and any opportunity he gives to you no man can close that door,
you must repent and be honest in your confession,
remember after each problem there is a lesson,
after seeing how faith works in you life you become stronger and wise,
you'll be amazed when you see how big your faith can grow in size,
with God your life can only maximize not minimize,
i pray that people will open their eyes and realize redemtion draweth nigh God
bless.
Life is but a corridor, and death is the only door
whatever you take with you, is yours forever more
time is as a fleeting shadow, passing days are not perceived
when you realize your loss, it will be too late for you to grieve
A wise man foresees eventualities, and prepares himself in advance
while the fool pushes things off to tomorrow, and relies on chance
wisdom dictates that we should recognize, our years in this world are few
no man knows the day of his death, nor takes advantage, of his life to review
The soul, a piece of your eternity in a physical being, to you has been given
challenged by the tests in this world, for good or for bad, will your soul be driven
against your will were you created, and against your will are you forced to choose
alone you have the fortitude to win, or accept the consequences if you lose
Standing tall and full of faith, you decide to give it your best shot
you change your life for good giving up much, and never forgot
the truth is of great value to you, because you acted upon it when you knew
only what you have succeeded to overcome, in the end will belong to you
A person's thoughts, how secret we think they really are
in reality, however, the truth to this is indeed very far
how can we really think to be judged, for all the things we have done
unless our Creator above knows all, nothing hidden from under the sun
Coming into this world against our will, is something I feel and know
but contemplate the fact this same way, is how we are going to go
what matters most is to achieve our task, for the duration of our stay
making due with what we have, and choosing to go that right way
A soul placed in us from a higher place, in our body below does it rest
divine power and free will have we been given, for us to pass this test
everyday how many challenges we face, for our benefit are they designed
giving us an opportunity to come closer to G-d, to this we may be resigned
I have asked myself so many times, why this feeling for love is so strong
the answer to this may be found, understanding our human need to belong
so when we consider these G-d given gifts, bestowed with a great plan
fostering this desire to help others, then life really starts with man
If we had any idea how our actions below, effect the divine world above
kindness we show to one another, forces down upon us their love
so living a life that is divinely inspired, is more than just moral and just
this power of giving and doing good, makes living life nobly a must
At the end of our days, when that time comes for that place on the other side
content we can be to let them know, at least we made an effort and tried
human frailties are not accidental, our Creator fashioned us just so
challenging us to give us reward, for all the good we have done below
Today, I have finished.
Tonight, your hunger is diminished.
Now, your anguish has been eradicated.
Emancipated.
Liberated.
Your way of life is completed,
Your way of strife is defeated,
Like the rising sun, I shined down on your world,
A life of ignorance, a life you so quickly hurled,
And like the sun, I had exposed your vices,
I have shown you that charity suffices
Loving, worshiping, and making sacrifices
Lasting throughout the ages, His message is now complete
And His promise fulfilled
Has He ever sent you a message leading you to deceit?
And His promise was never killed
I am leaving you shortly,
Lost, you will never be, but rather quite courtly
Leaving you with the Book of signs and wonders
A fiery law to shake your enemies like thunder
Lastly I leave behind my successor
A wise young man, a Master
He will be your example and a mercy in the upcoming disaster
Men of the world, he will succeed me as the moon succeeds the Sun
Under a starless night, when darkness has begun
He will be shine down on you with my light
A night, where the only light will be his
Managing the dark world with a light so dim
Ending this period of day is a period of night
Death in the air, a fire about to ignite
Resting amongst you, he will be a man of peace
A man of courage, whose eloquence will only increase
Stopping only when his time is at cease
Underneath the dagger, he will decease
Loved by the Lord and so pleased
And in that dark night my light will never disappear
Lost in the clouds the moon will only reappear
Light in the sky, it will forever help the community
All has been promised in His book of Immunity
His message forever complete, forever in purity
