AbsUlutely

A guest post by the one who instigated this whole staying-up-till-2-in-the-morning-writing-furiously habit, our mom.

AbsUlutely

(with U in the middle, something seems wrong)

The earth is round.

But if you say 

The earth is flat,

Well, that's o.k.

And two plus two 

Is four, unless

Your view of it

Is more... or less.

And apples may fall 

On your head,

But some apples

Fall up, I've read. 

And did you hear

That water'll freeze,

Now and then,

At twelve degrees?

Oops, Did I 

Mispel a werd?

Aw, that's alrite,

The thawt waz herd.

No imputation 

Need I make

Because I believe

A mistake.

I just try hard, and

That's enough.

I sometimes quit

When life gets rough.

And there are times

When I am right

To lie, to cheat,

To steal, to fight.

For after all,

When life is o'er,

I win, because

I keep the score.

It simply is

The natural end

When absolutes

Begin to bend.

For when the truth

Is set aside,

The first guest to 

Arrive is pride.

When pride convenes

With human reason,

Justice becomes

What is pleasing.

Lust and logic,

Hand in hand,

Construct a life-house

On the sand.

In knowing what 

Is right or wrong,

We cannot trust

The human song.

Good and evil,

Wrong and right,

Still battle on

Throughout the night.

Yet don't forget;

The victory's won

O'er the lie

That Satan spun.

The truth is not

In me, you see,

But rather in

The Trinity.

Absolutes

Are only found

Where Grace and Truth

Share common ground.

Reality is

Soft of voice.

The truth demands

Only one choice.

The time will come

When God will say,

"What have you done

With My Son today?"

He who caused

The earth to be,

Who loves each one

Eternally,

He spoke.  It was.

And it was good.

He is the "I am."

Understood?
