The Fact That You Are Not Listening

March 21, 2023Character, Decoupling, Friendship, My Memes, My Poetry, The Willjackpelham

There’s really no getting around
The fact that you are not listening—
Especially since what I’m trying
To talk to you about right now is
The fact that you are not listening.

Pushing Through

Pushing through becomes ironic
When stands in his own way.

In the Soulless City

March 14, 2023Goals, My Memes, My Poetry, Nature, Religionjackpelham

I have always loved the land
And am grieved to this day
That I must live smothered
In the soulless city.

And still there lingers the hope
However faint
That somehow
It will be made right
Some time before I die.

But either way
I still hope for a place in
That country not my own
Which shall be better still by far.

Whatever Shall God Make

March 14, 2023Character, Cognitive Bias, Decoupling, My Memes, My Poetry, Religion, The Willjackpelham

When my life here is done
And God and I get to talk it over
Whatever shall he make of all the good
Things I might have loved here
But did not want to love?

One Man Listening

March 14, 2023Character, Cognitive Bias, Decoupling, Dysrationalia, Hermeneutics, My Memes, My Poetry, Religionjackpelham

I do not believe that
A thousand preachers
Having set out to use the Bible
To change this ailing world
Could extract from its pages
Even a tenth of the treasure
That can be extracted by
One man listening
Intently to what it says
Simply because he wants
To understand his Master.

The motive for reading affects
The message received.
