About God and the Devil

Image
Ready for the cooking S ome say there is a God And there is a Devil Some say there is no God There is no devil Merely creations of imagination Creations of a human mind At times to exploit Theirs is the power of lies At times to understand The Infinite that is beyond comprehension Who made the stars? And all life within So magical From whence comes This infinite love That ever flows? These are seekers of truth All know There is life There is death There is the power for good And a power for evil A power with lies A power with truth Lies are for moments Forever is truth Around these thoughts of humans Were born religions And cults of Satan The cults of God called themselves godly Some of the cults of Satan in secret and dark Also called themselves godly When they came out to solicit For theirs is the power of lies How is man to know? Who is for God? And who for the devil? It is simple dear frien

A Picture from the garden of author's home W hen we were young Life was fun Worries were for Mama Life was to play and run Early morning we went to school Later we were off to work Mama said don’t be late Come evening, you must relax at home Mama and Papa to heaven have gone So we went to another home The home of love where lives the Lord Our Eternal Mother and Father So as not to be insecure and alone It was evening then, relax He said Come night, when you have had your rest We shall have a new dress for you For you to begin a game In a new life, new day, all over again Note: The different stages of a life may be compared to different parts of a day; read about that here: http://someitemshave.blogspot.in/2011/01/five-stages-of-human-life.html And through it all only a few lucky ones hear the seven truths, for it is not ears one needs to hear these truths, it is not eyes one needs to see these truths, yet there are s

Human Life, briefly described - A Poem
