Poetry
Despair and Confusion
Beneath the shadows of the reflective light,
lies this humanity we’ve each come to know,
here, where nothing exist in black or white,
for everything is gray as the clouds that flow.
Complexity is the nature of our human way,
give and take, always in want of having more,
rationalizing ideas continue to leads us astray,
fighting and bickering, pounding on the door.
Preaching to others on how they should live,
with we do as I say, not what you see me do,
wanting more, never learning to share or give,
lying, stealing, cheating to gain something new.
Such savage creatures propelled by our desires,
we’re not satisfied, our self-indulgence we take,
peace and love thrown out into the burning fires,
but in the end we are no more than what we make.
Beneath the shadows, just lost in passing time,
we live in a world created by our own illusions,
controlled by inner emotions and not our mind,
leaving us each in a state of despair and confusion.

This is an articulate and thoughtful poem. It is, I think, an appropriate discription of the religious, but unconverted, world. It is frightning, however, when some of these things are true of those of us who truly know the Savior.
