God The Commodity
They only love you if you can
provide them with something.
They only want you around when
you can do something for them.
They are so glad you stopped by,
if you have something to offer.
They are happy to run into you,
when you are bearing handouts.
And they all want unconditional love,
so long as long it only flows one way.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"
"Can you love God unconditionally? That is the big question. All the time you may have thought that the question was, 'Can God love you unconditionally,' but the big question is, 'Can you love God unconditionally.' You can only receive God's love in the way that you give God yours." –Neale Donald Walsch on Facebook
My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Can you love God unconditionally? That is the big question."
I should mention that this poem was inspired by a quotation from Facebook (please see the quote above), way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...
And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
However, I may be remembering that incorrectly, because this poem may have been written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
