One Lone Light

I stand in a room that has One Lone Light.
The room, I do not know its size, ‘tis hard to tell,
Because the room is surrounded by the night;
I feel I am in a station of Dante’s hell!

The floor is of plank wood while the bulb gives hope,
But there is a darkness that surrounds both me and the light;
Much like a fog, which scares me, a fear I cannot cope,
For there are shadows in it that hide inside the night.

I hear them call me to turn off the bulb,
Others ask for me to join them in the darkness.
However I stay, to guard the lighted knolb.
And sit without fear, for with light there is no loneliness.

Some come into the light but like the darkness better.
They do things in secret which is a sin,
And follow one another exactly to the letter;
As they always go back, over and over again.

God however, gives me the courage to stay and fight,
They that do not wish to be made known;
Those specters that ask me to turn out the light,
So that their deeds, if in light, would be shown.

I want them to join me, to have the freedom that feel.
For in the One Lone Light there is liberty in its gaze,
No longer do I want them slinking in the darkness like an eel.
I want them to come out, to come out of their darkened maze.

They deny me and the One who has told me to be on guard,
Forever in the darkness do they perform their deeds;
They laugh, “He will never leave that light, for his head is hard!”
But I know they do not understand, for it is the light that their soul needs.

So I guard the One Lone Light,
To save myself from the deeds of darkness
And choose not to join their plight;
For with them it is utter loneliness.

God has given me this task to do,
Although I am weary, for it is for rest I am desiring,
I must keep the bulb shining, for it is I who
Am responsible, to keep the One Lone Light still burning!

Ephesians 5:3-14

(3) But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not once be named among you, as becometh saints; (4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. (5) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. (6) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (7) Be not ye therefore partakers with them. (8) For ye were sometimes in darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (9) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) (10) Proving what is acceptable to the Lord. (11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done in secret. (13) But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever is made manifest is light. (14) Wherefore he said, Awake thou that sleeps, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Hello

I finally got around to setting up my blogger account. The content of my Blog will be about political goings on, Christian theological issues (in the sense of trying to agree on things instead of pointing fingers), and (as my Blog title suggests) try to wake people up to what is going on and at the very least, keep them from being swept up in the emotional tide of today's media.

Some posts will be originally posted on here, other will be things I have written in other places to put on here. My hope is, along with the objectives I have mentioned, is to develop my persuasive and informational writing skills in order to help with books i want to write in the near future.

I hope anyone who gives me the satisfaction of reading my Blog (especially down the road) will enjoy and find it beneficial in their own life.
