Never Play For Own God.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Never Play For Own God....

Rating: 5.0


Such a greatest pity, for man and family
now they were allowed to live short, not till eternity
since they committed suicide at such a young age, a greatest pity
but if they ardently believed in God
they would choose the longest life on earth
all they had to ask was: Please dear God, give me an ardent life
their life would be prolonged right on the spot!

WHY is this brevity created? BECAUSE so many young artists died at the age of 27. That is not old, that is super young! Let them arise from their graves and they must read what here is written. Love the life that God hath given! Do not play for God, that IS a sin. I had this urge to write this short verse, thank you. Created with deep understanding for the life and love God has given,

HALLELUJAH is composed by Leonard Cohen (USA)

sadly yours,
Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch Poetess.

How painful our life is, make the best of it
try to survive with the help of God!
Of course, our group does exist
the survivals of the fittest!
