Life

“Every man dies but not every man lives.”

I’d like a wife so I can make a life.
A thought I’ve had just like my Dad foreknowing me.
He knows my name.
He knew I was going to be apart of His Work of Art expressing His heart to those in the dark.

Broken lies leading to our demise.
Not trusting we would die.

I found The Plan wasn’t written on the back of Drake’s hand.
Job was focused on the outward motion.
Sometimes I find myself consumed with the same dysfunction.
Am I what I feel or is it really about the consumption?

Excuses, excuses they have no uses.
I went to talk to a Buddhist and he said I was clueless.
But turns out I was shoeless so I started to think I was a Dualist.

If it’s Me, Myself, & I then why I do feel paralyzed?
If I’m living then why am I scared to die?

How can I say It is Well with my soul when You are not the One who is in control?
Father, I feel no malice when You fill up my chalice.
Lobotomy to my autonomy.
Drained from the pain of puffing up my own fame.

How lame...
Why pay for a game you already played?
Pick up your mat and let’s go raise a Lazarus.

Pearl of Great Price we just won the lotto.
10 Mina’s and I still want to borrow.
100 Fold Ministry on this Fertile Soil as I lead those who want to follow.

Contemplating what it looks like to live a life “well lived” and some of the thoughts that can keep me from that.

Wow. This is wonderful. I especially enjoyed, “If it’s Me, Myself, & I then why I do feel paralyzed? If I’m living then why am I scared to die?”

Those are the thoughts or contemplations a lot of people have. Self doubt and self hate..or even too much of a self awareness thing. People are ready to accept the negative instead of a positive.

People are so ready to dream instead of living it.

Once again Apollo..Kudos.

Loved your breakdown of it. “Too much of a self awareness thing” is exactly it.

Total agreement that too many people are stuck in the desire stage of living without actually living.

I appreciate the thoughts Nefertiti!!!

Hi Apollos - lots of cool sound-bites and pungent questions but it's too much just a collection of thoughts rather than a cohesive, compelling poem. I'm wondering how many hours, days you spent -crafting- it?
Go well
Write on

I gotcha Brother. This is a case of us having different styles of writing that we prefer. I craft these up in about 5-10 minutes.

I enjoy free writing on a theme when I feel motivated without feeling it has to be cohesive story.
