Mind-boggling

Galatians 5:19-21 

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, ²¹ envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God

Depravity a choice?

Slakbalah and Balahas went together on vacation.

They traveled through a mind to the center of attention.

They erected there a tent … and prepared for relaxation

and swallowed daily vitamins to be guided from frustration.

The place they had chosen … was not a pretty sight.

It seemed to be infested … with worms to terrorize.

All things appeared temporal … total lack of the infinite.

There hung a sickly odor … of puke and parasite.

Surrounded by walls it seemed … with really no way out.

It seemed so pressured up … with what it was all about.

The more it filled itself … the more there seemed to sprout

flows of its own sewage … recognized without a doubt.

Depravity at its best … came now in sight

not very attractive … but surely strong in might

it seemed undefeatable … and certain in its plight

to remove the Creator … but not without a fight.

It was a clear picture … developed in this mind.

It wanted to be its own god … in its chosen time.

A lover of darkness … with the attitude of a swine

as greed and anger flourished … drowned in sin of every kind.

Death was ruling everywhere … as the body moved through life.

The man had many children … and an attractive wife.

Many seemed to like him … as in darkness he knifed

to fulfill his own desires … at any cost and price.

No boundaries were keeping him … no restrictions curbed his plans.

Everything he hungered for … he grabbed with both hands.

He craved for the material … there just was no end.

He wanted to gain the whole world … as his soul ate death as planned.

Slakbalah and Balahas … picked up all their gear.

They had seen hell at work … and had been way too near.

Selfishness at the core … without any form of fear

had driven these men to the place … where only they were dear.
