Humans...(poem #7)

We make mistakes

We carry our faults

We hate, we yell, we scream

We push and shove

We curse each other

Even saying "you can't do it. You won't make it"

It's still cursing.

We take what we want

And say what we want

We make sure we have enough first

Before giving to others

We fight all the time

We feel sorry for ourselves

Even though the world

Is crashing all around us

How can we

So broken and violent

And hateful and slothful

Ever demand so much from others?

We don't have the right

To just take and take

And rarely give

We cry and ask

"Where is God?"

"Why won't he listen?"

"Why doesn't he do something?"

"And why does he let all this stuff go on?"

The truth is

We push him away

We keep pushing

And demand our way

And then wonder why he's gone

The world he created

Doesn't even want him

Then it wonders where he's at

It wonders

Where he went

Or if he even exists

How do we expect someone to stay

In a place we don't want him?

We kicked him out of school

And out of our lives

Out of the states

Out of our jobs

And out of our hearts

We don't want to hear him

We don't want to listen

We don't want his way

We act like he's non-existent 

But yet he did something

He came anyways

He came in the flesh

Made a body so he can speak

Struggles in our place

As he healed and prayed

Made us free if we reach for him

Gave us hope and new life

Even as we shoved him

He walked all the more

Keeping his pace

To fulfill his great role

He taught us as he showed

He will always be near us

For those who don't love him

He loved even more

From his throne he came down

From the throne where he shown

To be with us sinners

To save our souls

We hate him, he loves us

We're violent, he's warm

He died on a cross

For no reason but you

You can't blame him for anything

He only does this for you

You tell him to leave and he will,

Ask him to stay and he'll warm your small home

I urge you to live

To live with him whole

Give up everything

For the one who gave everything

Let his will be done

And not your very own

Give God your love and obedience 

Walk with faith through it all

Not your will but his

And he'll carry you home

Love and peace everyone! Thanks for reading!
