To Life! Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Is God a man a man can fool?
Finite as all we see
Could Satan fashion as a tool
The King who’s yet to be

Was this the reason of the tree?
The ruse he’d use to win
Or Jesus’ means to victory
To rid the world of sin

Battle of darkness war of Light
Encounters of free will
Forever to set true peace to flight
The living One to kill

Throughout the ages from the past
Unto the present day
How do we see The First & Last?
The Truth The Life & Way

For if in deed the bible’s true
And Christ is as we read
Then life could be for but a few
Who plant in love their seed

Sew not to self or selfish gain
Deceit or wanton lust
From such Heaven withholds it’s rain
Until they turn to dust

Best plant to life whilst yet we can
Yield that which love awaits
Live first to God then fellow man
As selflessness dictates

Be wise take care love isn’t blind
Regardless what men say
God sees the heart each thought each mind
Of this beware today
