Plugged In?
by louis gander Are we a mere computer, or have we skin and souls? Have we hearts that often break - with sometime mixed-up goals? This world has seen some changes, and many, not so good. We often think of only 'self' instead of what we should. Maybe fault is not our own - as when we are abused. Eden's Garden, this is not - when innocent are 'used'. Can people be deleted? Do friends no longer stay? Are people simply 'products' that, some use - then throw away? We plug in our computers. and we are 'plugged in' too - but sometimes we will sit alone - when real friends are few. Computers do not have a heart, and neither have they pain - but people hurt from inside-out - and often times complain. Brand new software will not work, in minds that still compute. When control-alt-delete won't work, we simply don't reboot. When computers go awry - we wipe the hard-drive clean - but people cannot soon forget, and must on shoulders lean. Water kills computers, and they don't cry in tears - but people have the right to weep - to God who always hears. FOR GOD knows every truth there is, and pain He will erase - if we will only seek His truth, and troubles squarely face. We either love this life we have, on pathways we have trod - or we can get unplugged from earth, and get 'plugged in' to God! Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
