A purpose in life? © R Macdivitt 2012

If not for God, then for what?

Life needs the purpose that it seems we forgot

For in our rush for equality and safety

We’ve lost our shared spiritual integrity

.

Not for all, that omnipotent king

Nor neither that creator of everything

For some have a need for belief in a deity

While others find their goals in symbolic idolatry

.

For some, God’s inside us controlling our life

Sharing fleshy home with Satan, producer of strife

But common to most is a sense of shared past

And a feeling that we’ve a spirit that strengthens and lasts

.

The atheists they scorn but they lack common cause

Often claiming that it’s religion that causes most wars

But nearer the truth is that most warring leaders

Use religion to divide and deceive us

.

So praise your God who sits upon high

Let spiritual upliftment be your answer why

For we’re better for striving our great goals to achieve

If we’ve a plan or a programme to complete as we leave

Thank you Miguel,

I have some more to bring.

Roger

The Choice is yours?

© R L Macdivitt 2012

Turn off the news, the TV doom and gloom

Look for the positive instead

Walk the dog and smell the flowers

Hum a favourite song inside your head

.

Make a cake, invite a friend

Drink tea and have a chat

Keep it light and cheerful

Bend down and stroke the cat

.

Lunchtime treat, snack in the sun

Read a book of love

Sit under a tree, enjoy a doze

Hear birdsong from above

.

Plan a trip to a special show

What to wear that day?

Take a stroll to a shop nearby

Eat chocolate on the way

.

Supper calls, great, food again

Enjoy a glass of wine

Settle to write to a friend of yours

Tell them that you’re fine

.

A positive day, a frivolous time

You set your goal and won

You’ve kept your spirits high and bright

And revelled in the fun

.

But still the neighbour beats his wife

And still the times are hard

You turned your back on everyday

And played your happy card

.

Which is right, face the truth?

Or pretend that all is well

But know your positive affects the world

Far more than you can tell
