Description
Do you feel the pull of life,
and feel it in a negative way?
And you’re not inclined to be negative?
Don’t let yourself be swayed.
Step back
and take it in slowly
give yourself time
to react;
sleep on a negative impulse
to manipulated
attacks.
The pull of life is felt
in unnatural, negative ways;
confusing, dissonance;
casting of aspersions...
Left blank, with what to say..
When blank begets blank
Be blank;
the answers yet, will come;
they always do when a victim
presents as deaf and dumb.
Active malice has a goal
yet portrays caring, and true,..
all the while an evil end in sight.
Blank begets blank,..
What to
Do?
I can hear mom saying:
“Give em enough rope”,
“ let them hang themselves”.
And they will.
If there’s room to err
they will find it;
moving like a lamb to the kill.
The truth has a way
a time and a day
of showing its hand
and all liars;
Will forget their lies
enlightening! be the time!
Knowledge like flames,
licking out from a pyre.
So we are naive
until we learn.
Then we must learn
to think, - naive;
to be again
the person, that we were
and were always meant to be;
Though with insight new
to protect us;
Humility be
our sword.
We are, but none of us
important;
that title, alone -
the Lord’s.
So how then can I ever lose?
When I’ve put my faith and trust
In the One whose eyes
are Everywhere;
even as you
lay the snare.
And He will make sure
it’s your own foot,
found tangled, in the very web
you’ve sweated and slaved
and taken such care
would be hidden, from the rest.
And I never had to lift a finger
you did it all
to yourself;
helped and driven
by your own heart -
its’ desires
for unearned wealth.
And when you are holding
that much sought ‘thing’
Yet find you are empty
still;
Glance over at me
in all my oppression -
Lo, and behold!
I am filled!
To the top, to the brim!
overflowing!
with my heart’s every desire;
made known my worth
what is mine from birth;
rightfully
From my Heavenly Father.
And because it is mine
you will never,
take from me
what He has given,...
albeit not
without trials,
and tribulations...
Another day,
in the life of a Christian.

this... reminds me of something.
I may be influenced by events but the message I see in this one is that we all have our true and good self and what evil does is pointless anyway because the truth will always prevail and expose all malicious intentions eventually (at least, that concept I like to believe in...I believe that all good will defeat all evil)

Well if I wrote it that way, Mal, then it wouldn't rhyme. !!
Absolutely, Mal! God loves us All, and wants the best for us All; and He gives us a choice even, of whom we will serve; if even, we will serve anyone at all. And that. my friend, is Love.
But this particular work, Mal, is written, specifically with Christians in mind; with an echo addressing our personal struggles, which, in fact , are most often brought upon us due to our very beliefs ... (For when the devil sees a believer, it is Then he sets out to destroy that belief and that person's faith, in every way he can ).. This work is meant as a message for Christians, for when that happens, to persevere; see it for what it is; and remind ourselves of this fact, often. And that message, of course, can and does apply to peoples' of other beliefs as well. We're all human and can relate to one another on many levels. So take the message, of course! !!! But the particular dialogue in this work, comes from a specific place, with a specific starting point of its origin. (that being, my own 'personal' struggles with the dirty devil )
It's me singing of praise to scripture, and of my very faith that things will end for me (as long as I do believe) , as 'is' written. Even though the struggles are hard.
I hope that makes it a bit more clear for you? It's not my intention to exclude anyone; as I said though, it was written with a specific point in mind.

Jesus did say that indeed! !! And Lord knows, now days especially, Alice,... I am more than happy to oblige Him on this.. Besides,.. it's not like He doesn't know what is in my heart to begin with; and what I'd want for a person (naturally) vs. that which I'd have them suffer due to something they'd done; a wrong done to me which, provoked said desire for revenge into being..
Suffice it to say,.. I am more than okay with Him handling the Lot of it. ... God alone knows that which is closest to each of our hearts, so,... we might think something, for example, a perfect revenge. But the person we are planning to do it to, may not in the least be phased by it. God knows All,... He knows exactly how to serve vengeance upon each of us who deserve it. <3
I agree.. "the small stuff",... And the unclear stuff, and the dissonant stuff... All a matter of not being worth paying attention to. Until one must.
But most of the time (during situations such as struck upon in this poem) such a time never does come. Worrying,... and causing worry, is the work of the devil, and all men who follow that line of thinking. So. All of us good people, need to reevaluate; and simply refuse to be worried.

I'll give you an example of letting God have the revenge, or in my case, leaving it to Karma (which amounts to the same thing, it's all about giving it up to Divine Time)
This dude Rodney (in the village) made sport and fun of me with words. Over a period of time. Made him feel big in front of people I guess to poke fun at a little woman.
Everybodies favourite landlord did the same thing.
And it gets tiresome. You go in the pub for a quiet dink and end up having to defend yourself against a couple of immature jokers like that.
Both are money grabbing men, avarice is their vice.
I rose up in the end, made Rodney aware that ain't no way to treat a lady and he stays RIGHT out of my way these days. **hard stare**
And I stopped going in everybodys favourite landlords pub.
I walked away and left them to God/Karma.
Rodney goes regularly to france to bring back cheap wine and passes it on at a marked up price round the village, and one of his customers was everybodies favourite landlord.
Both were on a winner, Rodney sells it for more than he paid for it and E>F>L> buys it cheaper than he can at UK retailers or the brewery.
I hear the two of them have fallen out. Which means one has lost a good customer and the other lost a good source.
And with a brexit trade deal still to be figured out with Europe, how's Rodneys little racket going to fair then ?
Karma/God got them both in the pocket where it hurts.
Nice job.
Both your God and my Universe, as we've discussed before, want the best for us. They have "got this". Understanding that, means there's no need to worry.
We're on the same page you and I.
