you sit there high and mighty
king of your throne
you wear the crown well

always trying to do whats right
telling me i'll go to hell
how do you know this?
have you no sin?

you preach to me of all your good deeds
then shun me when I try to attend
those meetings are for hypocrites
i'd rather not pretend

so take one good long look
in the mirror at yourself
tell me how to be like you
would I be happy then?

tell me do the roses
smell better over there?
tell me why my life is worng
and yours is right?
tell me everything you know
so i can sleep tonight

i have been where you are
and I gave up my seat
I'd rather not play their games
i'd rather not deciet....

so when we meet in heaven..
surprised look on your face
the angels will look upon you with disgrace
that is the day of judgement
your right my day will come
but so will yours my friend
will you be ready then???

Liked this much...

and now comes the unsolicited advice...sometimes ya just gotta shake your head and smile...'cause they're not listening anyway... (smiles and hugs...)

And believe me, you're doing just fine.

WELCOME to the forum...(i am always late...)

Julie Ann,
   I share a good deal of empathy with the emtions you have expressed here. By the way, welcome to Passions! Thanks for a nice piece of work.

Julie a great poem.

tell me do the roses
smell better over there?
tell me why my life is worng
and yours is right?
tell me everything you know
so i can sleep tonight

i have been where you are
and I gave up my seat
I'd rather not play their games
i'd rather not deciet....

so when we meet in heaven..
surprised look on your face
the angels will look upon you with disgrace
that is the day of judgement
your right my day will come
but so will yours my friend
will you be ready then???

Well that person will have their down fall and it will do doubt be on very hard ground.
