About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.

glad you mentioned that.

For once I agree with those exploitive bastards. The idea of an omnipresent omnipotent god only proves an evil god. Do you really subscribe to such an evil deity? "God Knows his plan" this world, the way it is dieing is his plan? Give me a break. Better still give me Gaiia and individual action, protest and integrity. cheers, Jess

It amazes me the very concept of what God is to some people

Most do think he is a omnipresent all powerful and a uncaring God. That just shows me they have not the comprehension of what a God is, or who GOD is. Is God Your Brothers Keeper and does He lie? Will He be untruthful even though he can? The best cover-up is the Lie. What is it you, my friend think he is? If you could imagine a God. I see you are angry with Him and would hit Him with a brick. And your anger only makes me think that you think he is responsible for all that is wrong and nothing that is right. Do you believe you are pond scum shocked to life by lighting? Do you believe Darwin that you are a ape descendant? Do you believe in chaos or nothing at all? Faith is a choice "They" say that God is All in all who are "THEY"? All I have to do is look around and I see order where others see none. I see systems in place where others say they don't exist, and I can feel in my very being the difference between right and wrong. About things no one has ever taught me about. There are worlds within worlds and waters of many degrees and depths. If Science teaches us anything it teaches us we understand little if anything. When Adam ate the apple, was their a apple? The Tree of Knowledge of good and evil was reveal, but the tree of life was there too. Why did Adam not eat it first? Give a babe a gun place the bullets on the floor, will he be able to load it? Who can say, but give him a loaded gun will he look in the end of the barrel and pull the trigger? Nine out of ten times I would guess. If one believes in positive then by default he believes in negative whether he see it or not. Men still today can't get any story right or straight so I have a lot of trouble believing in any thing that Man has had a hand in. But, inside of every story some truth is found. Some where in it. The Bible says to Prove All Things, Test All Things, I believe in a Loving God,and we are in a chaotic world. Which for whatever reasons is set on a course that is running out of time. If god as you put him, if you would put him, He has testified too the Time Factor. But only by reading the stories and hearing the stories or the GOOD News or the Gospels and believing in them and on them along with the Ten Commandments will you ever comprehend, The Law, That made us all guilty, the Savior pays our fine and we a saved through Him Alone. So I believe GOD loves me and every one else and HE will take anybody who will love him back. Yes My friend I do subscribe in the GOD effect, I believe He has paid a price The only acceptable one, for us all and I believe He is perfect after the fact. Forever is a long, long time. And we all know shit happens and I think GOD is fixing the Shit. Donnie/ Sinbad

It is sad that when a former member leaves or is asked too

That their comments to us also vacate our sites. These comments are a testament too our work and they are missed by some of us. In the future it would be nice if/ when they leave or are asked too, that we the recipient's of their words would have the option to delete their comments from our poems page if we wished too. As these comments become a factor in and/ or a motivate for or to the rework of said poem or poems, Just a thought. Donnie/Sinbad
