It Doesn’t Make Sense

 

I have finally awakened

I am no longer asleep,

What I’m about to share

Is pretty, pretty deep.

 

Speaking something into being

Doesn’t make sense

And I offer no apology

If anyone takes offense.

Especially those Christians

Who have fallen for such,

If they have any sense

It really can’t be much.

  

Think of anything you want

And speak it into being,

You would wait till forever

And that thing you won’t be seeing.

 

 

 

It doesn’t have to be big

Focus on something small,

It doesn’t matter the size

You can’t get it done at all.

 

I have actually tried it

And you can try it too,

Concentrate with all your might

And you’ll agree to my view.

 

God created the world:

What absolute nonsense!

And any who say they believe it

Are in a state of pretense.

 

Once I actually believed it

But that was a colossal struggle,

Finally I came to realize

That did not solve my puzzle.

 

 

The world always was

It simply had no beginning

And once there is procreation

It will never have an ending.

 

You would also prove this

If you try my experiment,

You’d discover what I discovered

And we’ll have a similar bent.

 

The world for me is God

And it will always be,

Get rid of the old wives fables

And open your eyes and see.

 

Evolution doesn’t make sense

But neither does creation,

I believe in an eternal world

That is my summation.

 

 

The truth is I am sleeping

And I am talking in my sleep,

Don’t believe me for a moment

My sleep must be very deep.

 

What a horrible nightmare!

What deplorable foolishness!

How miserable we all would be

If we all believed in this mess!

 

God’s Word sets the record straight

In the beginning God;

It was He that created everything

Spread that news abroad.

 

It is God that always was

God is the great I AM,

The evidence of being awake

Is when we’re walking in His plan.

 

So strike verses one to twelve

That’s the heart of the fool,

Hold fast to all of the rest

And enroll in God’s Bible school.

 

There you will learn the truth

Of all that concerns you

And after the first basic lessons

You’ll begin to see God too.

Reality Check

I had been driving a while

Without stopping to check

Though I had gotten far more

Than I expected to get.

The old car was faithful

And it responded very well

But I constantly ignored

Every warning bell.

There was one I couldn’t,

It was the check engine light

But I was so far from home

That it gave me a fright.

O how I wished

That I had checked my car

But this was just wishful thinking

Things had gone too far.

It is no different today

With how the trends are shaping,

  Very poor decisions and choices

We are repeatedly making.

And what is most amazing

Is we argue they are best

And become more adamant

When they don’t pass the test.

There is the gender issue

And there is same-sex marriage,

And we are heading downhill

In a broken carriage.

Fighting for all the wrong rights

But shirking our responsibilities

And developing a society

With the weirdest of philosophies.

Ignoring the check engine light

And all other warning signs

As our society catapults downward

Into steep moral decline.

It is now high time to stop

For a much-needed reality check

And stop ignoring the warning signs

That we constantly get.

Our children being whisked away

In our immoral slime

And suspect checks and balances

Are two of the signs.

So many things are broken

But we are turning a blind eye

And the reality check goes unheeded

As the truth we deny.

“Those Christians are weird

They want to spoil our good time

And exchange it for the drudgery

To which they are confined.

Don’t you see how they solicit

And unashamedly coax?

But their call for a reality check

Is nothing but a hoax.”

So this runaway train

That we refer to as our society

Will undoubtedly be derailed

Bringing great tragedy.

It’s like a plane in a nosedive-

Pull up!  Pull up!  Pull up!

But we ignore the warning

And continue to ride our luck.

It is reality check time

Unspeakable disaster threatens,

Don’t ignore the check engine light

And boast it will never happen.

Pull up! Pull up! Pull up!

The findings of the reality check,

Pull up! Pull up! Pull up!

Pull up and avoid the wreck.
