Lord

Lord ,why do you wait outside my gate,
Why do you knock ,watch and wait?

Knock on my heart,but not today,
Lord ,let me be,please go away!

Lord ,why this unceasing care
Is my wicked soul so rare?

Lord ,this life is just for me
I am deaf to Angels and to thee.

Lord ,why do you waste your time
I am Satan's child,not thine.

Ohhhh... I have NEVER read a poem on this site that I haven't liked, but I did not like this at all!  It in a way offended me since I'm a Christian, Read my new poem I just posted called Ready or Not.  This poem is pretty scary!!  Being the devil's child?  No.  Thats not cool.

lady peach
do you not see that you can read this poem another way
that God is ever present
ever willing
always waiting
never gives up on any soul
use your imagination

Yes, this poem, as all poems can be interpreted many ways...and indeed....
the good Lord does win in the end.

Something that makes me think is never offensive to me. Well done, arthur. I loved it.
