Capable Of Enlightened Insight

To deliberately take away,
That which only God has given to create...
Is an act of of premeditated selfishness.
Is there another way to observe what takes place?

And debating whether or not God forgives...
To diminish the evilness increasing on the scene,
Usually comes from those...
Perceiving themselves to be salvagers of souls.

Leaving the ones doing their best experiencing life
As 'works-in-progress' capable of enlightened insight.
But with little time left to annoint themselves,
As interpreters of God's intentions.
Positions so many rush unsolicited to fulfill.
