a better world

If man can please God by being a good person,
let’s all be good.
Isn’t that a great idea?
Or let’s be at least average, not killing anybody,
not committing any big sins.
And if we have committed some big sins, let’s not do
it again. Let’s be nice. Let’s at least try our best.
If man really can come to God with his credentials of
being an ordinary human being, why has the cross
become the symbol of the whole Christian world?
If bad things can be balanced by good things,
and if bad people can be reprogrammed by a good
social worker, why did Jesus die?
Was it an irreversible accident that should not have
occurred in the first place?
I think that it’s obvious that the world hasn’t become
a better place. It has become more dangerous.
In the same time man is capable of educating himself
more than ever before.
Where has man’s teaching led him,
to a society where everybody is so busy and controlled
that prayer and worship are considered to be
questionable activities.
Today they are looked upon as something unproductive.
Tomorrow they may be considered illegal.
I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down…
