Talking About Politics
Friend in a parallel world
I reach out with open arms
Then I hear your thoughts
They hit me like a freight train
Tears pour down my face
And my face burns
You think what?
Parallel worlds are not so different
When our opinions don’t matter
If you try to fight a ghost
How can you win
When you don’t even know
Where or who is your enemy?
Talking About Faith
We all are loved by God
And choose to please Him
At all cost
We fail Him regularly and equally
When the alternatives is more suffering
The path forward is obvious, if narrow
The weight of the cross can be so great
We cannot even always stand upright
It is hard to stand your ground
When your burden outweighs your strength
Usually soldiers crawls on their bellies
To delay the ending of their lives
If you think how your vote matters so much
Why do you invest so much in religion?
When you need every heart
It does not help to break even one
The devil is nothing compared to God
But we are little compared to the power of evil
How do I let God fight my battle for me
When I am so spiritually blind
To all that is good and right?
Calling to God in a dream
And all evil vanishes
And I am wide awake
Maybe the problem is that I take on too much
And should leave this to God
I feel so weak sometimes
That I am not sure I can make my own decisions
When choice ends in continual suffering
You have to find another way
To fight your battles
Sometimes I wonder if it is good
To have enough knowledge
To stay away from evil
But sometimes this grows
To just enough to pull you in
Everyone thinks they will never fail
Until they deploy to war
Talking About Philosophy
Sometimes being alone
Is less lonely
Than being around people constantly
Sometimes we need room to breathe
And time to think
It is only in self reflection
That we gain self knowledge
It is only in prayer and Bibles study
That we learn the heart of God
Some things we will never understand
And then there are things that
We may never want to understand
So many people plan to ask God many questions
But how many of them will be relevant?
We an easily be sidetracked
Doing noble and good things
Like trying to win
The sad part is that to win
Someone has to lose
Talking About Competition
How can I not consider my victory
In terms of how the opponent
Experiencing the reverse situation?
But I trust God enough
To never feel sorry for the devil
Only in terms of true evil
Is it acceptable to defeat and destroy
But how can we hate other people
When we know we have just as many problems?
How can we make others suffer
Or experience loss and defeat
When we already know how this feels?
Why can’t we treat each other
As friends rather than rivals?
But this is hard when our very survival
Happens at the expense of others
We are safe and happy
Directly because others suffer immensely
The first shall be last
And the last shall be first
Maybe we need to adopt
The leadership style of Christ
Could you imagine a human leader
Who had no ego?
Is it possible to be like Christ
In a competitive environment?
Is ambition compatible with Christianity?
When we see a problem
Why do we first think
Whose fault is it?
Instead of how can I help?
Part of it is now about trust
It is not wise to say everything you feel anymore
Even if it does not challenge anyone’s position of power
If only we could be fully honest
And others would return the favor
But honestly we want what others have
We don’t ask God when we need something
And when we do it is for self gain
