drug us..

"bouycot hell*", to a  "t" ... shirt 

(see the pic below, - if we're allowed)

Yee harr! And thanks to God, that he drug us

out of the rubbish heap*, dusted us off,
gave us the kiss of life & then hugged us,
the kiss of welcome, healing, that shows love.

Then breathed his breath of life, energy in,
and wakened up that part of me like him;
communicated his way of seein’
his life & love, and purpose - more than whim.

And wow, he's freeing us from our own will
(as though it was the final word on life,
the central purpose to gain here until
we are the centrepiece, our will is rife).

My old conception may not be so right -
that I'm the centrepiece of this whole world,
where everyone-else now must just sit tight
& do exactly what they have been told.

Or else, at least to back me all the time
& see life as I see it natively
(for it’s hard work to change world-views and mine
is more demanding than I’d like it be).

This addict here just wants to get his will,
to be the god who doesn't suffer fools,
'coz then all life would simplify until
“that I don't suffer” ’s Number One of Rules!

How diff’rent to the God who suffers here,
who’s heart was filled with pain as he looked close,
came down and got involved by camping near.
Make me like you my God, (& less verbose).

* In the Bible when it uses the Greek word pronounced something like "Gehenna", it is mostly translated into English as "hell", or "Hell". Gehenna was the Greekish way of speaking the Hebrew term for the Valley of Hinom - which actually functioned as the dump for the city of Jerusalem. It would have had "rotting dead" transport there ((not rusting car bodies, but camel, donkey & horse bodies), maggots, crows, dogs fighting and snarling around their trophies, smelly, & unclean in more senses than most of us would understand. What ever was thrown there was refuse, rubbish, not fit for other uses than being part of an overall ecco-system, tragic only if there was no higher potential purpose on offer.
