The Only Way Out


















“The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”   John 12:25
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”   John 14:6
I am tired,
really tired;
tired of fighting to
prove my worth,
tired of trying to be
something I will never be,
tired of caring what
the world thinks,
tired of being afraid,
tired of wondering what
tomorrow might bring,
tired of being a slave,
tired of the fantasies
and illusions most live under,
tired of listening to the
self-righteous, stick your head
in the sand, I’m ok,
you’re ok, look at me,
aren’t I special individuals
who think that this world,
and the people in it
are basically good;
because they’re not;
human history
has proven that
over and over again;
this world was broke
a long time ago, and
there is only One Way
it will ever be fixed,
it will take a power
far beyond anything
this world will ever
possess.
Truth?
real truth does not
change,
it never has,
it never will,
it is absolute,
it is irrevocable
it is final,
it is beyond human
comprehension or thought,
it is a rock upon which
all who fall will be broken,
and all upon whom it falls
will be crushed,
only man-made truth
changes with the wind,
bouncing from one
theory to another,
one self-created god
to the next;
what sad, pathetic fools
we truly are,
created with so much
potential,
yet settling for so much
less,
selling out for a few brief
moments of pleasure,
caving in to fears and desires,
trading truth for myth,
light for darkness;
life for death;
amidst the fear and decay
there remains One hope,
a light set upon a hill,
an escape,
a reprieve,
a small, still voice in the
cold, dark night,
do not harden your heart;
do not turn away from the only
way out of this life.
