Poem: An Unexamined Life



As noted by Socrates,
an unexamined life
is not worth living;

as a disciple of Christ,
I've decided to adopt…
His lifestyle of giving.

Humanity's selfishness
needs to be subdued daily,
for we need each other;

regardless of opinions,
we're still God's offspring
as sisters and brothers.

From embracing The Word,
we go forth as ambassadors,
since Truth we must tell.

For an unexamined life
keeps one unwittingly on…
the unmarked road to Hell.



Author Notes

Matt 7: 13-14,19: 26,28: 16-20; John 6: 45; Eph 5: 1-2
