God's going to cut you down

Just words.

I have been listening to Neil Young and Johnnie cash tonight. Good song create powerful poetry.

    God’s going to cut you down       (Johnnie Cash)

I told the kids. Hate is heavy sin and make us feel no good. Leave us  dead in the  heart and the mind. When you are dead. What is left?

I told the preacher. I have sins. I have done most of the deadly seven sins and I never seek peace or forgiveness. I was led by greed and I don’t believe God will  forgive the men who left only marks of greed, lust and drink. I loved the road more than love. I believe men who danced on fire stones of self-need and  he don’t believe in heaven or hell. Will know purgatory with loads of foolish men. The preacher thought a moment and he told me. God will forgive and expect payment. Men who believe they are Gods on earth. They get cut down to size in hell. You are not a murderer or hurt the child. God can see inside you. You will see you did your best.

Old wordsmith sat near the Pacific with two kids. The two young Poets asked. What is right?  What is wrong? Is this hell on earth or are we just living and dying without reason and purpose?  Old Poet told them. Look at the sky and the sea  and look at the sun falling into the sea. I believe we are just part of a great plan. You must do your best and lead with love and kindness. This is your world. One kind and strong voice can save our world. Maybe one person at the time. A wave of hope can be create by true love and great dreams. God is kind and  good. He is like a parent. Parent mold and teach their children. We hope our children become good people and carry out great things. A parent, like God. We must allow our children to grow without walls and fear. Set them free. No perfect person. We will fall often and must get up. This isn’t hell. Hell is a lot worst. You can decide your journey. Free-will my friend. God gave us free-will.

I watch the men in Washington sending young women and men to war.  Jesus loved the child. Government that send the young to learn death and war over love and dreams. I do believe God will demand payment.  If these greedy men want war? They should go and fight. The taste of blood isn’t very sweet. Maybe the Berserkers for war would be less gainful if they fought for oil, land and religion themselves.

Johnny Cash told us. “God’s going to cut you down.”  There are lessons in the words of the song. There is payment for all things.

The Wordsmith told the young Poets. Travel, love and have many friends. The end will come. Better to know death with a peaceful heart. He who had known love, beauty and was kind to strangers in need. I believe will find God and be welcomed.

This is such an inspiring piece. "Travel, love and have many friends. The end will come. Better to know death with a peaceful heart. " Yes this is definitely correct. Let's live life without remorse only contentment it will be enough. To love and to give without expecting any compensation. Thanks for sharing.

We all seem to have our own beliefs about God and the afterlife. My idea is why take the chance on being wrong? Valentine

Sometime we can be foolish. Woman, wine and song. More tempting than a calm life. I have a load-full of things I did and I regret. I know. No take-back my friend. You will pay for the good deeds and the bad. Thank you for reading and the comment.

very optimistic write - it encourages people to work hard and never lose hope: God is more faithful than lovers or close friends, and sometimes even family members

I agree. I have been saved often by God. He was a gentle touch to keep me awake on the long journey and he send angels to make me walk the right paths. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.
