Death rolls through us every day,
Changing tides with each winds sway.
Yet we ignore the facts of life,
Pretending we are happy as man and wife.
I was almost jealous of a man today,
His life was ended in a violent way.
He died so quick, no more pain to know,
Never again must he watch life's show.
He is now free from all we face,
In losing he has won the fucking race.
Rotting in the grave or breathing clean air,
Why the fuck do we love or even care?
I fear I'll never know and I can give a shit less,
I'm so goddamn tired of this bickering mess.
Remember when things were still exciting and true?
How'd we change to start hiding whats new?
But it's truly more than just you and me,
For now death presides in all I see.
The death of my,family, friends and all I love,
Showed me long ago there is no god above.
There is only the life we see and death we feel,
Eternal life is a nice myth, but far from real.
For our mistakes we've only ourselves to blame,
No higher power will help ease this shame.
So please can we stop these bullshit fights?
On love and life can we set our sights?
Maybe we can learn together to be strong,
And stop trying to prove each other wrong.
Lets set aside our faults, insecurities, and fears,
Focusing instead on our present and future years.
Please tell me what you think

Wow Jeb..I don't know if I should congratulate you on this write or cry for you. You and I have had some deep conversations on this topic. I stand firm in my faith. I know that life is hard and believe me trying to fight for a relationship rather than having one is not only painful but exhausting. But ask yourself, what part of your life has God had control of? Remember when you still believed in salvation, you learned then that you have to die to self to be born again. God is faithful! He's not ruining your life, He's knocking on your door but your refusing to let him in, and then you wonder where is God in all of this choas? He hasn't turned his back on you..You've turned your back on him..and you know what...HE STILL LOVES YOU and unlike our human relationships HIS love is PURE! No anger, NO dissappointments, NO FEAR! He is LOVE, STEADFAST Love..unbroken.. Remember that
I'm faithfully praying for you
Good Luck my Friend

very interesting
as usual jeb you have written a well penned an damn good poem. Ofcourse i believe God is real but even with that i can relate to many parts of this. good job!

jeb! i missed you.
I like this, its an interesting conflict. Arguing about whether God is real or not, having it disrupt a relationship. Religion and faith are things i believe to be very personal, and that there are too many interpretations of too many circumstances. live life with no regrets, and in the end, you'll get what you deserve (if theres anything to get) or you'll have lived with no regrets. its a win win situation.
an interesting thought that crosses my mind though... what if heaven is there only for those who believe in it?
