Mercuria: *grumbling* Not the most poetic thing I've ever written.
**********
you'll always be wrong
"Who is willing to die for God?"
said with such complete seriousness
well, guess what, pal?
If you, lacking wings and a halo
ask me to die for God
whatever cause you name- it will be human
just like you
"Let God's will be done"
and you're so devoted
but guess what?
You've already got a will, haven't you?
And if a human says god's-will-be-done
it's only a cover, a lie
just like you
and you've got a book
outlining God's actions and words and wishes and mandates
but if you read it
you translate it
like it or not, everything you've ever said or done
infuses the words with what you are
adds your own meaning-
and you can't shrug it off or exchange it like ill-fitting shoes
because you're human
time to confess, sweetheart
have you seen the face of God?
has he told you "You are absolutely right!
This is EXACTLY what I meant.
By all means, carry on"?
if that's a no
then you've got what the rest of us have:
conviction, morals, drive, potential-
but you're human ...
just like me
