Perceived To Believe Can Be Ignored



Not a followed hired prophet.
Nor one clarevoyant,
With an ability to predict.
A slow moving whirlpool,
Moving counter clockwise.
Churning to swirl.
Unexpectedly without warning.
Although the signs were there,
For everyone to be aware of it.

Lessons to learn from them yesterday,
Gone to ignore of dramatic changes to come.
And prepare for them,
Only a few had done.
Refusing to accept fiction to replace,
Their faith to delude truth to be faked.
Holding onto belief,
Only ONE CREATOR...
Can, could and would,
Make the impossible an observed possibility.

And...
For the many,
Who perceive to believe...
God is a myth.
To continue to ignore.
Leaving them with tools to do as they please.
Are the ones to be left,
Weeping tears and pleading...
Again.
For yet another opportunity.
To change their hypocrisies!

However...
Long has it been rumored,
Only cats are granted nine lives to live.
Yet...
Human beings,
Blessed with minds to think independently...
Seem unable to achieve,
Using common sense.
To avoid creating havoc.
On a daily basis kept to permit,
Destroying themselves for the fun of it!
Done to believe,
Forgiveness is theirs to deserve and receive.
Automatically repeated.

But from who or whom or what...
Do they pray to obey.
If a faith to claim it had to have,
Is a lie to hide how they feel inside.
When outside they attempt to deny,
The evidence and proof of their hypocrisies!
Day in.
Night out.
24/7.
Around the clock.
