Time Lapse
In this world of individuality
Can there be sin?
It is a great quest
To find yourself within
But can there be sin?
Can there be sin?
I can speak of another time,
An earlier time
of Goodness and Grace
Mercy and Selflessness
A time of great carelessness
of what others thought of me.
A time without worry
Without strife
Without fear of who I am
Becoming,
of where this world is
Going,
of how I could be a
Light;
All I saw was You.
But today
I marvel at the sights,
The places, and most especially
The sounds.
They drown out my voice
And I find that I cannot speak.
Do I live for You? Oh, how do
I live for You!
This world breeds nothing but animosity,
an affectivity of hate for all things
including You;
Is nothing but an emotional state of
individuality, for-ever seeking acceptance
and guidance from self-anointed, center-
seeking creatures;
Will never be anything but disgraceful and
a continual smack in the face.
To live for You is to be an outcast
And that is someting worth risking
In this world of individuality.
