Weeds
30 April, 2010
Author: Mark Spencer
The crops are nearly ready now,
They are no longer seeds.
The reaper will be coming soon,
To separate the weeds.
For weeds do nothing for the crop,
They only block the sun,
As they spread across the garden,
Until its overrun.
And some crops will be corrupted,
Each harvest has a cost,
The crops defiled by the weeds,
Are almost always lost.
The only purpose weeds have served,
Outside of the brier,
Is mulch to fertilize the earth,
Or tinder...for fire.
So, on the day the reaper comes,
That day, each soul will learn,
If they're the good crops He has saved,
Or tinder to burn.
This is the garden of our Lord,
And each of us, its seeds.
The reaper will be coming soon,
To separate the weeds.

Comments on this poem/writing:
| Wess (24.144.44.203) -- Monday, May 3 2010, 08:58 am About 8 years ago I stopped a bunch of college aged kids from beating some poor guy to death. There were people standing around watching, but nobody lifted a finger to help. I grabbed a Katana sword out of my car and stuck it between the victim and his assailants. I told the 5 punks who were beating on that half dead kid that this "fight" ends now! They talked some smack and then ran off, threatening to call the police. Why was I the only person willing to help? God is going to be very disappointed with His garden, it's mostly weeds. Great poem. |
