Cynicism and Christianity are the only things I can convert people to. Cynicism is me seeing a world empty of hope when my mind gets the best of my hearts. When I close my eyes so that I might look for satisfaction in poetry. I'm the worst poet that I know. Christ can only bring people to himself. Only he can save, without him my words are foolish as I preach to men who are already dead. Men who on their best days are as senile as nursing home patients on their last days. I cannot hope in anything but my God. FUNCTIONALLY:I sometimes don't believe in the power of prayer. I realize this because I look at my actions. I wonder why he doesn't answer my prayers... but i realize that sometimes I'm not praying... woe is to me as I die and try to give life to dead men. I'm hungry and my soul is frail cause I'm hungry yet I seek to feed others while I myself am dying.

I can't even convert people to Christianity. Only Disciples as jacked as I am on my own. "Say this prayer and be a baptist" is the closest we can get. Cynicism infects my mind as Christ rescues me from certain death, he gave his all until there was nothing left. Christ saves, he is our hope, his election, his purpose, his Love.

Peace and Love is me spreading empty promises and empty faith unless that hope is Christ. Unless that hope is Christ I'm a rambling fool.
