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 of me,

tired of being afraid, tired of wondering what

tomorrow might bring,

tired of being a slave,

tired of the fantasies and illusions,

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 this world and the people in it are 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 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;

there is only 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.
