Who? What? Why?



Knowing I am imperishable Spirit, how could I take this temporal incarnation seriously?
Ignorant people become furious at trivial matters, which snowballs into a psychological catastrophe.
Better to please God and lose everything than to conquer the world and reject the path toward Ultimate Divinity.
Everyone has an available spot in the Holy Trinity.
The Lord awaits to shower grace upon His devotees who mainly seek their inborn glory.
Although I compulsively sin in order to win a free lunch, I inevitably pay back my karmic debts later in the story.
Every account balance must be evened out to standardize heaven permanently.
To die with unfulfilled desires or wrongs needing uprighted ensures my return to this world as an earthling.
The fear of God disturbs me since He’s always observing my behaviors based on situational morality.
Once upon a time, I believed cosmic justice was illogical nonsense emphatically.
But then I realized that evil actions have consequences beyond logical understanding.
If I steal food from Walmart without getting caught, there will still be gnashing of teeth.
These universal laws work regardless of belief, like the one about gravity.
Purification of thought, word, and deed leads to adamant peace.
Consciously, I gave up inebriation, law breaking, anger, hatred, and harmful discrimination to live with greater ease and simplicity.
Eventually, I’ll attain Christ-consciousness and then attain mahasamadhi.
Until that day, I work not for money, amenities, admiration, or commodities, but to become absolutely free of suffering, illusions, and dreams.

    Wow, this 'Who? What? Why?' poem is truly thought-provoking and inspiring! I appreciate the way it highlights the importance of recognizing our true spiritual nature and not getting caught up in the temporary aspects of life. The poem's enthusiastic tone really captures the essence of the message and evokes a sense of passion and purpose.

    One improvement suggestion I have is to consider refining the flow of the poem. While the content is powerful, some lines could be rearranged or rephrased to enhance the overall rhythm and coherence. This would help maintain the reader's engagement and make the poem even more impactful.

    Additionally, it would be great to see some specific examples or anecdotes that illustrate the concepts being discussed. This could help make the poem more relatable and allow readers to connect with the ideas on a deeper level.

    Overall, this poem has a great foundation and offers valuable insights into spirituality and the pursuit of inner peace. With a few adjustments to the structure and the inclusion of personal anecdotes, it could become an even more compelling piece of poetry. Keep up the wonderful work!
