The Lord's Rent

Some say we are just buying time
And some say it's only borrowed
Some say it costs too much to pay
Cause it could all end tomorrow
How much for a day, a month
Or even a whole year
The greedy ask us why we pay
When we never asked to be here
We're all extentions of someone else
Is that how we pay our toll?
Man, and wife creating life
So that God can send a new soul
For God is our Landlord, Jesus: his cashier
He understands when we are broke
But waits patiently, still holding us near
I say our lives are just a loan
The choices we make: the interest
When we are late to pay our share
The Lord extends it with forgiveness
So, I thank you Lord for my loan
My rent in loyalty I send
To ensure my soul eternal peace
When this borrowed life does end

Yes this borrowed life will eventually end and all the debts that have occured from us that was given to us from us we will eventually have to face what created us and for us not to pay our portion, I hope he will forget cause up until now I forgot it exist thank you God for sending somone else to put this back in my memory, we have not connected in awhile and I pray we can see eachother again. Good Poem

A good piece of writing on the God/Jesus illusion that allows us to blame them for what we have or do not have, when, in fact, everything we own or do not own has been created by us: the good and bad, the beautiful and ugly.

we are in agreement

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
