The Spectrum

Tags: devil, God, Hell Heaven, lies

A look at both ends of the spectrum, a struggle with temptation, in a humorous poetic way. I also threw in a few plugs for Triond Folk.

This is about a choice we must make. Please remember when reading this that God has a sense of humor also. I hope no one takes this wrong and thinks it is sac religious or blasphemous because it is not. I have a nickname for Jesus, I call him JC, and insofar, he’s been pretty good to me. Sorry, can’t help it, you guys know I love to rhyme and keep a line in time.

Get away from me
To you I don’t belong
You tried to take my soul
And buy it for a song
Your incorrigibility
And history so long
Go back into your hole
Or smoke another bong
I belong to another
You’re A liar
You said you were my brother
But no you are not
You simply lie a lot
I will not be tempted
By your false reality
You’re the one who lied to Eve
About the fruit upon the tree
You’ve not been satisfied
Since your fall from grace
I will simply choose
A softer warm embrace
I’m not on the fence
Not even close not at all
I way over here
On the other side of the wall
The spectrum has two ends
One is love and grace
The other is dark
And surely will fall
No thanks
I’ll stay over here
With the lamb standing tall
And accept his protection
Blessed protection from it all
I think I’ll stay right here
And wait for God to call
You see Heaven is big and grand
Hell is small and bland
Remember the foundation
Was on the rock
And not the sand
You can never wash away
His love or his hand
He is the way the truth and the life
You offer ugliness pain and strife
I’ve clearly made my choice
I’ll answer the call of the Almighty voice
I’ve got the best insurance money can buy
I’ve got the Big Guy up in the sky
So I look at it like this
Hell sucks
But Heaven is bliss
So serpent my ass you can kiss
Because I’m not going to miss
My ticket into the gate
Where St. Peter does await
I’ll chose the better fate
Besides Heaven puts better food on the plate
Hell has no such plan
It’s a garbage can
Hell has no telephone booth
The Dark One has no couth
You see God has a phone
Near the throne
On the wall
And he always answers the call
This telephone service is free
It will last through infinity
But make no mistake
It came with a heavy cost
The Lambs earthly life was lost
He bled human blood for we
So we could get in for free

I simply love it, Bojack. You are a person who refuses to be swayed by the evil one and will always belong to God, that’s what the poem says to me.How can anyone find it offensive? Lovely job, very well done.
Jasin on Jan 11, 2009

Bo Russo on Jan 11, 2009

Powerful words BoJack. This is an amazing piece, what a great way to speak your peace. Thank you for writing this as well as for the mention! You are a good friend! I agree with Morgana as well, How can anyone find this offensive? I certainly did not.

Good one, BoJack. It’s nice to see a bit of your deeper side, and personally I think religion and humor go together quite well. And I’m quite comfortable on my side of the spectrum, thank you
Well, if I have a side, that is… does it count if you’ve never really had to “struggle with temptation?”

Really nice write I enjoyed it a lot.
Bick Parker on Jan 11, 2009
Nice one, Bojack. There’s just one tiny little detail – did I ever mention my pen-name was BICK PARKER, and not BRICK PARKER?

Yep, I too had a goood old giggle at that one.
papaleng on Jan 11, 2009

Bo Russo on Jan 11, 2009

You old dog.. you mentioned many of our favorite friends, but what about your antagonist? But, really, it’s okay. I just like giving you a hard time.
Bo Russo on Jan 11, 2009

Gotta love ya BoJack. That was great and God does have a sense of humor. You are living proof. (smirk). Jesus didn’t hesitate to call out the religious elite and high minded. “Brood of Vipers” was pretty serious stuff. I appreciate you. Don’t worry about measuring up to people. People won’t be measuring anything in heaven, except maybe their mansion. Lol God loves us all just the way we are, but too much to leave it that way. It’s His task to clean things up if needed. God Bless in bushel loads.

Holly J. Harrington on Jan 11, 2009
God’s got a sense of humor and this is an excellent poem.
You stay close to Christ. Besides the Son of the Father is going to have the last laugh, chuckle, chuckle. You keep on passing the Good News creatively and keep your sense of humor.
Inna Tysoe on Jan 11, 2009
That was a thoughtful piece
