James Kraton Biography

I was born to a Baptist family. Spending much of childhood alone set my mindset. I had much more time to focus on God and serve him. Giving my life to him was my greatest feat. I am a runner and a philosopher. I suppose that I am also a poet now. I live by a Godly philosophy and I study Platonic philosophy. My favorite secular quote is 'I know one thing, that I know nothing' by Socrates. Socrates was a made up character by Plato. My favorite quote is 'Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father and I too will love them and show myself to them.' John 14: 21 NIV, Jesus was speaking. I value wisdom more than any worldly thing.)

The Best Poem Of James Kraton

The World's Pandemic

What is there to this world?
When the hearts of men are evil,
When our tongues are like fire,
When our spirits are filled with depravity.

We are quarrelsome people,
Looking to fight for some earthly pleasure,
Looking to stake a claim on selfishness,
Looking to cover the little light of the world with darkness.

What is left other than wickedness?
There is surely no wisdom,
There is surely no righteousness,
There is surely no love.

Who are we?
We are the scum of the earth,
We are the corruption to the righteous,
We are the gods of idolatry,

I look around.
What is there to this world?
