Hard

Hard

 

 

 

ugly innuendo

secretion of hateful bondage

dreams escaped

loathsome manners

God is to blame,

so he thinks,

 

armed with insulting words

hurled in any direction

the borders in arrears 

who owes for his antagonistic

degree

 

of incivility

it's a hard life,

but everyone suffers egregious

outcomes

 

without impaling others

on the sword of misfortune

This sounds like the description of projection if sitting in the psychologist’s office, or the end result of a nightmare election.

I'm prone to the gospels of St. John myself. "God is love." But God is certainly to be feared, a righteous fear, knowing that we are every one, unrighteous. Only God can make a man righteous. Only God can make a man at all. As for having a hard heart, the scriptures have this to say, "I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 11:19

God made comfort a sin , that’s why churches have Hard pews 😂
It’s only man that’s made life soft , those sinful comfy chairs and beds
And God made Pain as well, Life wasn’t built for comfort or enjoyment
God loved us so much he made a Devil , 😂
Great poem , I enjoyed ,

[jacob erin-cilberto]

man, that is tough love.
and yes, very hard pews...
and some kneelers were pretty hard as well.
Suffer the children.
thank you for your words,
Stuart,

Your final couplet is superb. Reminds me of those boxed in a corner. They go outwith a fight but ensure they inflict maximum damage on others first.
