There was a cure....not long ago

There was a cure for cancer, not so long ago it was a surefire solution, to all sub cellular malignancies but it's host died in 1969, in the steamy jungles of Vietnam with the last gasp of a future medical student who was sacrificed to the war machines sure...the economy was boosted for a while but hundreds of thousands fell victim to the diseases he could have, and would have cured. There was also a solution... to feeding the hungry on a world wide scale, it would have become a seed in a brain so smart that it's output would have genetically altered all farm crops...worldwide causing them to produce year round, in any climatic conditions, in GIGANTIC proportions..enough sustenance for all but..... she was aborted in the second trimester as a matter of convenience, to avoid any embarrassment by a young lady who wished to finish school by the way...... the former mother-to-be runs a snack bar, in a bowling alley with two more unwanted kids, placed in foster homes as a matter of convenience to avoid future embarrassment for her next lover's visit and she never finished school There were, and are many brilliant minds many solutions to our problems many future hopefuls crushed on a daily basis... Murdered, overdosed, impoverished uneducated, underfinaced unloved, discouraged suicidal.... ignored tomorrows come, and go without their valued input whole sections of societies deleted like the trash found on our e-mails and we all suffer the consequences. There is a God in all of this who weeps for what could have been but he chose to give men freewill rather then to control men like robots obeying his and only his commands he sees the problems that beset the earth and he sends us the solutions wrapped in the flesh of newborns But in man's excessive need for greed in his continuous hunt for power in his unquenchable hunger for lust in his self-centered, self-serving manner these gifts sent are destroyed one after another and the problems go on without solutions yet still God sends down more answers hoping this will change willingly, and freely by the choices of men And this God does not belong to any "one group" or any "one faith" for that would surely violate man's freewill by denying them choices even an atheist has gods power, money, worldly gain a quick, and final death with nothing ever after they are the atheist strongest desires and the atheist worships them with just as much faith as a ninety-year old nun His choice...her choice freewill...not robotics the heart of each person knows the true path and chooses his own direction so be it! Please do not attempt to kill the messenger this was an inspiration It is not a belief it is not a soul belief of mine it just called to me like all thoughts do to put it down to save it for posterity for in every work there lies some truth and to make it known for what is a poet without a voice?? what is a writer without readers?? so enjoy these thoughts penned if you will or deny them vehemently it is your choice it is freewill and the next time you pass a graveyard look upon it fondly for therein might lay the answers to all the questions we've yet to uncover the solutions to all the problems we've failed to overcome and the next time you pass a nursery or a pregnant woman look fondly on them too and fight for their futures take a stand for education take a stand against poverty against war against crime just take a stand against all of the evil perpetuated by men, on men and maybe...just maybe some day soon one of these gifts God sends will get through maybe more maybe tomorrow can be brighter maybe not it is our choice freewill mankind choose your direction and Godspeed to you all ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ArtisWritten January 15th, 2002-Option #2 © on Jan 15 2002 03:50 AM PST   spiritual
