Me Poem by Mark Beal

Me

Some men bring millions to the Lord's name
by telling them lies like
you go to heaven when you die
and others tell the truth
in the midst of their adversaries angry eyes
they say, judgment day beckons
and no one knows the day or time
David has not ascended into heaven
only our champion
the son of man
Jesus Christ

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
what do you think will happen
when the all mighty remembers us
think he'll be pleased by the way we treat each other
or do you think he'll raise a fuss
and say, 'Why do you love to sin?
were you not created sisters and brothers? '

ever consider what he did
he's given us all of these things
to do with whatever we please
so we killed and warred, and starved each other
and there are flies, and death and hell and disease
and more
some people take vacations
and fly all over the world
and some pray to God
there'll be enough to feed their little girl
and we rant and we rave over such stupid little things
and I myself am guilty
beyond belief
so I thank God for another day to live and think and breath
yeah just thank God for another day
to live and to think and breath
and try and teach the man inside
to become a better me
