Motivational Monday: The Game of Life and The Poet's Roll

Monday, June 4, 2018

Oh, Thou Glorious Lord,
assist me as I move through my life
to proclaim your new Name
to humanity.

In his book The Club Dumas, Arturo Perez-Réverte says, “Even if there is foul play, without the rule there is no game.” What does this quote mean, and how does its meaning reflect in your life?

Life's Game

Life
itself is a game,
we learn the rules as we move
from birth to death.

When we ascend
into the spiritual world
we learn how well we've played,
and if we've followed the rules.

The {item:bcof} prompt for DAY 2027
My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. John Lennon As a writer do you agree or disagree with Mr. Lennon? What do you think your role, as a creative person , in society is?

The Poet's Roll

The poet's roll,
and the poet's first duty,
is to proclaim the Glorious Lord
by whatever name the poet knows the Almighty.

The poet's second roll
is to reflect society's present reality,
while revealing a brighter future for humanity.
