Who are you?
1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world
Who are you?
You can kill the body ... what about my soul?
You can lock me up ... but what about my spirit?
You can break my bones but can you break my heart?
Can you take my things ... without that you inherit?
How much power do you have ... aren’t you just flesh?
How much influence can you claim in this temporal?
How long will you last ... in your lifeless quest
less then a second compared to the Eternal?
Can you prove what is not here being a lifeless master?
Can you understand a life that you cannot see?
Can you hear a voice that speaks without sound?
Can you flee illusions ... if that what has to be?
What will sugar taste like if you were raised on flesh?
What does fish taste like if veggies were your only diet?
What does hunger mean if you always eat the best?
What do you perceive if you never found the quiet?
Where are your dreams when you fulfill all desires?
Where is your hope if you own the bank and such?
What is ice ... since you are always on fire
and what are feelings ... if you never get touched?
