Topic: Confused (08/16/07)
THE WORLD IS ALL CONFUSED ABOUT RELIGION,EACH MOLD IT TO FIT THEIR LIVES.
THEY FORGET THE CHURCH IS A BODY, FOR JESUS CHRIST IT IS HIS WIFE.
THEY WANT TO LIVE FOR THE MOMENT, ETERNITY FOR THEM HARD TO CONCIEVE.
SO THEY MOLD AND SHAPE THEIR OWN GOD, PICK AND CHOOSE THE WORDS THEY WILL BELIEVE.
SALVATION HAS BEEN WATERED DOWN, THE BROAD WAY MOST WILL CHOOSE TO TAKE.
BUT WHEN THEY GET TO THE PEARLY GATE, THEY FIND THE BROAD WAY A FAKE.
SATAN WILL GET HIM A GOOD CHUCKLE,AS YOU ARE CAST INTO THE FIRE OF HELL.
YOU WATERED DOWN THE GOSPEL OF THE SON, LIED TO OTHERS SAYING THAT ALL IS WELL.
JESUS SAID ONLY THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, BUT FEW THERE WILL BE WHO TAKE THIS PATH.
THE REST WILL FOLLOW THE WATERED DOWN, ON THIER OWN WILL FACE THE FATHERS WRATH.
YOU SEE GOD HIMSELF IS NOT CONFUSED, EVERTHING IS UNDER HIS CONTROL AND WILL.
BUT WE AS A PEOPLE HAVE TURNED OUR BACKS, INSTEAD OF SEEKING GOD WE SEEK A THRILL.
BUT THE JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING, BEFORE HIS THRONE WE ALL MUST STAND.
YOU WILL EITHER HEAR DEPART FROM ME, OR WELL DONE YOU WORE MY BRAND.
IF YOU ARE CONFUSED THEN PAY ATTENTION, IT IS JESUS OR THE LAKE OF FIRE.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, TO LOVE HIM MUST BE YOUR HEARTS DESIRE.
OR YOU WILL BURN FOR ALL ETERNITY, THE PAIN BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WE KNOW.
WITH EACH AND EVERY PASSING MOMENT, THE AGONY AND DESPERATION IT WILL GROW.
CUT OFF FROM THE SOVEIGN HOLY GOD, THERE IS NO OPTION NOW TO PRAY.
REMEMBERING HIS MERCY AND HIS GRACE, IT WILL HAUNT YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY

This is a very good pov. It would be a lot easier to read if it weren't all caps, but the message is still there.

Valuable words of warning--I hope this finds an audience.

In addition to the all-caps (which are difficult on the eyes, and may send people away), I'd recommend that you edit this a bit for flow--a more consistent meter will increase its poetic quality.

Thanks for submitting this poem!

My pastor calls it 'Easy Believism'. Your ending was as strong as your beginning. I do ditto the comments about all caps. Well done.

I really like this piece. These words might be good in a song form..
