THE TREE OF EARTHLY LIFE

Why

is it that

God-fearing

people are forever

unjustifiably penalized?

We staidly labor sowing seeds

Producing flourishing new fruits,

Only to glance below in perturbation

As a parasite consumes our ample roots.

We endeavor to spread our protective mulch

To ensure the abundance of an overflowing yield,

Only to serve as hosts to vile and repugnant scourges

Who indefatigably sponge from our freshly-harvested field.

Leeches can’t fathom the benefits derived from assiduous toil,

So they will perpetually wallow in the decadence of their labor lost,

The physical application of work they regard only with abhorrent disdain,

While invariably maintaining their voracious sustenance at somebody else’s cost!

The Saints seek

to enrich the lives of

those who just don’t care

about Salvation through a Savior!

There’s no conveying this essence of life,

To a pariah whose ignorance emanates from birth,

Instead of struggling to bring their own sapling to maturity,

They choose instead to slither in the despicable muck of the earth!

I thank God every day for the Water of Life while the unsaved are mired in the muck of their disbelief!!!!
