A Lesson
Midday is as black as midnight,
Silence so loud it hurts your ears.
Do not ask your maker for light,
Dark and quiet comes from your jeers.
Leave your gods and deities be,
Beg not for a godly way out.
You are the cause of this, you know,
Each man his prison brings about.
If it is paradise you seek,
Try living your life so it fits.
A light will shine, words will be spoke,
And out of this jam you will get.

One thing I've heard said many times is... "God helps those that help themselves". I guess it's found to be more desirable (easier) to pass things over to prayer, than to act accordingly.
Good writing Jerry

I don't believe in prayer, but have nothing against those that do. But you are correct, if we do it our way I have found it is much better, and makes you feel better about yourself. Thanks for stopping by, Rex.

I see nothing wrong with having faith, but when we use that as a crutch to avoid responsibility for our own choices and actions, then it's a problem. Consequences are real...whether there is faith or not. Own up and carry your weight. I very much enjoyed this read. :)

Oh, I am right there with you, Willow. Faith is what it says, faith. Shouldn't be a crutch to not do what is right.
