Life and Death

Everything changes. People change,seasons change, but fear not the fate which these changes behold. A loved one passes on, we will meet them again someday. As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. The unexplored after life experience. So what gives people the right to claim they know what happens when we die. Nothing. Unless you've been through it, you might as well not even have an opinion. You can't go through life scared of whats to come. If you live for today, then yesterday has no meaning. Think about it as if your reading a book. While your on one page, your not thinking about the other pages but they are always in the back of your mind. But once your done with a page, you don't really feel the need to keep going back and reading the pages you've already read. Thus the metophor on life. And what about God? I believe that anyone is capable of being God. Who says that it has to be this immaculate being. The truth is, God could be anyone who has a heart. Most of the believers fail to see that.The Devil. You can't say that half the world believes there is a devil and half of the world doesn't. Whether they believe or not, everyone has their own personal devil. I, myself believe that anything un-good is considered 'the devil'. It's a little ridiculous to think its a demon don't you think? Sickness,death,murder,theft,rape. All of which are horrible things, the devil to the world. So you don't really have to look hard for good and evil. Each one of us holds the power to bring good or evil into our lives, and everyone around us.1

    i don't agree with ahoo. we are no better then animals.. we are infact animals in our own ways. who the hell are you to say that animals don't have hearts. a dog love's their master.. how can a dog love, when it has no heart?
    i think that life is what we amke of it. shit happens, and i agree with you.. it bugs the shit out of me when somebody says that they know what you are going through when they don't. i like what you said about life though
    "If you live for today, then yesterday has no meaning."
    i don't know what i am saying..
    but thank you for not saying "i know exactly what you are going through" blah blah blah you just said sorry ... and when i almost had a mental break down on the ride on monday.. you just looked at me.. i don't remember what you said exactly.. but for some reason what you said stoped me from hating te world.. so thank you..

    thanks for commenting on my poem... this was an interesting rant of sorts... i liked this line especially, "Unless you've been through it, you might as well not even have an opinion." it was very effective, although i think people still have the right to believe what they believe whether they have scientific evidence or not... keep on being... keep on writing... keep on making art... penumbrapoet

    i loved it from the begning of it and the example was absolutely well written, life is really! however your thought about "anyone if capable of being GOD" makes me to disagree. if all of us had this ablity , nothing could've goe wrong! devil lurks within but the fate wich keeps us on good path when unintentionally we doo good is GOD himself, we can be "human" if we have a "heart", because the only diffrence in animals and man is of heart, and mind. i totally agree with you of devil lurks within us, but denying the very exsistance of GOD is some what disturbing about this write. the word GOD doesnt mean just love and good deeds, GOD is the one that lets you draw breath , lets you see and lets you have what you want, tell me if by some accident you had lost your hand, would you be able to write what have you written now, no ofcourse not , and that is my friend the GOD in your life the fate maker and the life maker, giving you options , making you learn! however i do agree with you on the rest of the written description ...very well written

    Your words are spoken quite wisely. You have expressed here what i have felt for many years and have been trying to feed into the minds of those who may actual consider listening to a teenager. You have wonderful views and great talent. I applaud you.

    very wise words. I'm impressed. Also, you're very good at writing what you think. I didn't notice any spelling or grammar errors, which I happen upon a lot on this site.

    Nice job.....I don't completely 100% agree, but I do respect someone with support to their thoughts and those who cause others to think. In each of us is 'un-good' as you put it....but in each of us is the good to conquer that....so are we all 'the devil'. Also, perhaps a demon is the form which evil takes outside of the human soul.....but I do agree...it in us.

    This was good i agree 95% lol. Each of us have a Devil and a God within us. When We were created i believe we were given both and set out on a path to choose which one we wanted to follow... i do however believe that God isn't so much an all powerful being, but that God is just a being... something people can go to and find comfort in. Same with the Devil. This is a good write thank you for letting me know you wrote it... very nice i'll have to check out more of your stuff in the days to come
    much love
    God Bless
