All My Earthly Things
I think
sometimes I write so that people can ask themselves questions about the
soundness of what I had written and value their own opinions. I hear diverse
ideas and reasoning and although I am baffled that they are the emanations of
intellects, I recognize that everyone has a right to be heard and I listen. I
may be offended but I listen and ask for strength from the dear Lord to survive
the infusion of verbal pollution.

All My Earthly Things After
working hard each day Long hours
to ensure things go my way Living in
the moment and for the moment too Making the
most of opportunities to accrue Years of
fortune in my life time Every
pleasure to have, my life was prime And now
death threatens to take it all Ruin me
for my promiscuous downfall The things
I chose in life to amass How dread
to think they now must pass Little
chance to take them all with me Years ago
the Pharaohs tried unsuccessfully The fear
of leaving them all behind Has
possessed my thoughts and crippled my mind I shake
from pain but I fear the most Not
eternal damnation nor the Holy Ghost Got no
belief in the afterlife and what lies ahead So all I
fear are the things I leave behind when I am dead These are the
senseless expressions of a nonbeliever who refused to accept the Word of God |
