yesterday, today, and forever
constant, unchanging, and yet...
minute, hour, and second
dependent on the people
reliant on the culture
not similar, varying, different
sinful, human, wrong, Ha!
surface not yet scratched
slimy, filthy, worthless
yet atonement? grace?
His Blood. That Blood-
is this life? But wait!
Remember? colors, seconds, lights
important? decide now.
how? agreement lost.
how? consistancy dead.
you don't change, but...
we do, so where are you?

This is a poem about one of my major questions in life after I did a project about Emily Dickinson and talked to my friend Kate. The question is not a doubt in God but rather a doubt in the people who have messed up so badly.
