    "A Most Important Poem"



    "Be In A Positive Frame Of Mind"

    when you die there may come a time
    to influence your immortal soul
    for in the mood or temperament
    in which you go
    may not really matter
    when all is gone sans memories
    you feel nothing at all
    when instinct is all you know
    it is that at it's very essence
    which many don't feel at all
    it may be that some could be afraid
    and when they die
    they don't know why
    they cannot comprehend
    we all must dissolve our fears
    and remember that
    your hell or heaven is up to you
    if you let fear control you
    your thoughts of hell
    will most definitely come true
    but if you have faith
    you will be strong
    and turn your hell to heaven   
    you might think this piece of prose
    is part of Sam's delusions
    the thing that convinces me
    is that this one time
    my writing is legible
    and from this day
    I hope and pray
    that what I write
    is somewhat believable
    for I believe our destinies
    are what we make of them.

    DH; There is only one rule in this society. Make as much money as you can and screw everyone that gets in your way. All bad things add up to and are due to this same thing:GREED!!! If one really looks at our society one sees so much evil because people only want pleasure right now and it is easier to blow God off thinking for some odd reason that the time will never come to face eternity. Get all you can right now!!

    This one hit home, so very true in too many circumstances. It is a shame there is so much room for error in the system. I can't deny its true, there are those who have no justice. write on......Tlady

    amen, cutbanksam ... your hell or heaven is up to you ... very Zen ;)

    If it is zen I didn't intend it that way. I know for a fact both physically and psychically, for lack of a better word, that Jesus is real and eternal love. I have known it for years. For one thing read my experience with an angel posted here. I did not make this up, it really happened! God's mysteries are deep but are very real. As is satan's. He cowers in fear before Christ and knows where he and his angels will spend eternity. I KNOW this is the truth. I KNOW it for sure.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
