GOD'S SEED


Lord you planted in me a seed I allowed the world in and instead raised a weed It wasn't to You at all fair Especially since you had told me to treat it with care I wallowed in wealth and sexual sin But the growth of the weed had only just started to begin I felt no conscience if I even had one I was buying my time and enjoying the fun The fun sure was great And every night I had a new date That little seed intended for good Caused me more trouble than I could have imagined it would A new day came and of course like the rest I hung out with the worst of the “best” But something was different and a little strange There was a throbbing sensation all over my brain This isn't right something is bad Why is it raining? Did I make God sad? That question came out of nowhere yet had a valid point What happened to the girl whom God did anoint? He gave me a seed to care for and cultivate And yet my choice was to procrastinate I chose to be in with the fun and the games But in this crowd you'll find the names Greed, and Jealousy, Lust and Spite You will also find the opposite of light There is no good in this circle of humans We all make mistakes our lives turn to ruins God however is forgiving and loves His little children he created innocent as doves We weren't made to sin Yet this is what we choose and with that none shall win He gave us a choice He's not a dictator He loves us so much and reminds me of Darth Vader What is Vader's famous line? “I am your father!” Now God as well is saying you're mine But why do we run and choose the things that seem to be fun? Because on the outside their look is appealing But once your in you get the queer feeling That what you chose will bring you down And now no more smiles only a frown You realize that you've chosen wrong But how to get back how to once again become strong The answer to that my friend and my foe Is one that you and I already know It's ingrained in our memory from so long ago The one who truly loves you will always show He is never late and always on time And He will always be whispering “I love you and you're mine.”

Well, I have liked it awhile but as far as writing it only a few weeks/months ago. I wrote this one 2 days ago. But some of them were written over a month ago. I just discovered this website recently so yep.
