For Whatever The Reason



For whatever the reason,
People assume to believe...
Their weapons to eliminate,
Destroy and destruct...
The lives to live of others,
Will leave them to submit...
To be control and ruled by those,
Choosing this way to become powerful.
And left to demand and instruct,
A manipulating of what God has created.
While God gives permission,
With approval...
To have His creation,
Messed up and left corrupted.

And just how long will this go on,
Before those limited in consciousness.
Acknowledge to realize,
Nothing on this Earth...
Awaits to accommodate,
The doing of fools to continue to do.
Until they awaken,
From a delusion to face truth and reality.
To come to see and agree to admit,
A fiction to live and commit to it...
Has left their minds sickened.
With no cure that begins,
A forgiveness given that puts an end...
Of the consequences they must pay,
For disobeying all the signs to ignore...
Actions they intentionally put in place.
To exterminate themselves,
Off of the face of Earth.
Done to believe,
A power to achieve to grab and have it...
God is preparing,
To have such limited nonsense replaced!

And they are the ones,
Calling themselves 'Christians'.
And Bible scripture quoters.
Hypocrites.
Prophets dictating,
Their own fate to take towards a doom!
As if not to disappoint but follow,
The warning signs.
That clearly prevents,
A self inflicted stupidity!

'Oh...
Such nonsense and rubbish.
Who but God,
Has entitled us to do as we please?'

'Then why ask to be forgiven?'

'And why not?
Isn't that a routine as well?
God knows we are not a perfect people.'

'And...
I am willing to bet,
As a work in progress...
God is not awaiting,
For anyone to awaken...
To attempt that process.
Since I can imagine,
Tolerance and patience...
God is declared to have that known?
God is close and near to running out of it!'

'God would not do that.'

'Well...
This I do know,
I am just an observer.
Not a Bible thumping prophet.
Nor a pew sitting hypocrite.'
