The Calling

 

Have we all forgotten what we were to stand for?
Have we forgotten our purpose here upon the earth?
We've become even as we were, some even worse.
Why are we such fools as this?
To any and all of they,
That call themselves of the name of Christ,
Let the solemn charge be issued,
We have need to be reformed,
In prayer, in all of faith and hope.
Our time is short,
And only growing shorter with every passing moment.
Let him who has ears hear.

    these lines remind me of hwat my friend jimmy says to me
    "In prayer, in all of faith and hope.
    Our time is short,
    And only growing shorter with every passing moment" thanks for the memory. Friend

    This is really good. Different anything I've ever read before. It's really original. The whole text format is different yet unbelievably easy to read and outstanding in the whole flow of your words. Unspeakable effect. Stunned Stilence and for me that is pretty darn amazing. I like poems that ask alot of questions.
