Every second of every day
God speaks life into this world
That greets you in the here and now
If you take the time to listen.
God creates existence from the future
So to give it to your present
But every time you receive it
It has already become the past.
Do not stay with this past
And with its spectral illusion
Try to overtake the future
And be creator of God’s word.
But man cannot countermand
The eternal will of God
As love’s radiant authority
From which all existence flows
Son of man cast off your past!
For your illusion originates there.
The future speaks with resounding truth
That there we must all be born.

This is probably too technical to be a very good poem :P
This poem should in no way be taken as anti or pro-church propaganda (I believe that what Jesus called "church" was in many ways the opposite of the institution that we call "church" today) or as a reason to not do copious amounts of illicit substances (unless, of course, you have a problem).
