I met a soul that I tried to tell about Jesus
and he shouted saying in a strange voice 
"I don’t think it’s fair to push one’s religion 
upon another"
it’s not my fault
the world is this way and one little girl 
can not turn a heart
I just care for people and want them to live
with Jesus 
in the end. 
there is nothing wrong in that.
no sin and no blame 
is put upon my chest because of a boy who
is so touchy that he would give up his chance
to live eternally
I can’t make an unwilling heart Jesus’
I can’t change human nature.
only if I was God
witch I’m not
and never will be

Little Fishes

boys and girls playing 
under water 
playing catch with bubbles
little and big
doing just fine in their
not so carefree world
a world of survival
a food chain world
no one weeps over a death of 
their fellow fishes
it’s all survival in their town

Young

nothing bad 
just young innocence
smiling
not knowing what they are 
saying
if she knew she’d cry
but for now she’s young
and for now
she’s innocent
