[hometext] => This is very different from my usual stuff,, comments much appreciated, im not sure about this one :-)
[bodytext] => In Spurning The Devil, You Sin Excess the only tool the devil has It is wanting more, that causes sin Eating is good - but not too much Drinking is good - but not too much Too much emotion, too much thought A little jealousy is good, it spurs you on, but not when all consuming To love oneself is good, but not if at the selfish cost of others Excess is the only tool the devil has To be happy with what you need and deserve But humankind to progress must be discontent A spanner in the works there A devils tool, have we misjudged? To know what is right First we must do wrong Too much freedom, how do you measure that? Too much love, can it be so, Oh for sure! Can there be too much peace? If the world is at peace, surely that means, we have all the answers Are we there yet? I don't think so! Every new innovation will be used to it's excess To find the levels that it's used at best But the damage of the excess experiment always needs to be mopped up Excess power taking a lot of mopping Too much pity, too much sympathy Stops anger needed to move on Is the devil so obviously bad? That excess goodness can not be his tool too? The road to hell is paved with good intentions Maybe we need to pass through hell on the way to paradise A zealot in any form is going to excess In spurning the devil, you sin XShmokinX [comments] => 1 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Shmokin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
