Yes, we live in this world, <br />but we don't have to love it <br />it's just a temporary dwelling, <br />like the body we inhabit for a while, <br />there are too many things to improve upon, <br />things that bring us down and cramp our style. <br /> <br />There's a new world beyond this, waiting, <br />to welcome us with love and pure joy, <br />where war is non-existent and so is hate, <br />it will make us into someone new, <br />starting with a fresh, new slate. <br /> <br />There's a Spirit world that soon we'll know, <br />where the lion and the lamb will settle down, <br />where the wolf and bear are more like friend, <br />we will spread happiness instead of sorrow, <br />and for us, that world will never end. <br /> <br />It's in the Good Book, just look and see, <br />read the about the miracles that will occur, <br />man cannot lead us down the final road, <br />he's messed us up right from the very start, <br />let the Almighty One show you the way, <br />to Him, give up your tiresome, weary load. <br /> <br />We live in this world, but we're not of it, <br />we're strangers and pilgrims on a quest, <br />sojourners living in a fleeting body, <br />trying hard to do our very best.<br /><br />David Lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-this-world-not-of-it/
