Cynics

Cynics,

Man supreme?

Belief in evidence only,

Suggesting God to be evil for letting evil exist,

Is it a weighty thing to believe in some power beyond yourself?

I have become skeptical of skeptics,

Test truth,

Yes!

But, open your mind!

I found that most skeptics are cynics,

Cynics are quick to find fault,

Cynics are prideful in what THEY see as truth,

They only believe:

What they hear,

What they smell,

What they touch, and taste,

Cynics rarely feel empathy toward anyone who do not share their beliefs,

Cynics like to ridicule people,

Who believe in God, or any creative force,

Beyond their own,

And, they are trapped in this impenetrable bubble,

Created by themselves,

Imagination is blunted,

Dreams are limited,

I used to be a cynic,

But, life got better,

Call me a dreamer,

Call me a believer in something greater than man,

Life takes on a deeper,

More colorful,

More meaningful existence,

When you find God!
