Emotion: Raw Feelings
Emotion is like energy in motion
Revolving ‘round the hub of our devotion.
When such devotion lacks a worthy notion,
It brings forth sounds of dissonant commotion.
Raw feelings, such a vast variety,
Spawn drunken songs that mock sobriety,
With incoherent odes to notoriety
And wicked strums that lack all sense of piety.
But, oh the energy those sounds impart!
Each cymbal clash exudes a fiery dart,
An all-consuming noise that hits the heart,
The breeding ground where wild emotions start.
Misguided tunes and idle words resound
When idols of impure desire abound,
Their winds of doctrine carried on a flute
Which floods the atmosphere with evil fruit,
Resulting in a knowledge overload
That hits a guy before he hits the road.
The chaos in his head turns into rage.
Then comes the crunch, alas the sinner’s wage.
Emotion, Faith and Deliverance
But what his heart believes lies at the root
Of every single leaf and fruit and shoot
That travels through his bloodstream, reaching out
With movements born of faith or tinged with doubt.
Emotion is like energy in motion
Revolving ‘round the hub of our devotion.
When such devotion lacks a worthy notion,
It brings forth sounds of dissonant commotion.
It’s how we think deep down, what we suspect
To be the truth. Such thoughts we shall reflect.
The feelings we receive we’ll resurrect,
But what we disagree with we’ll deflect.
Foul moods lie at our fingertips each day,
Enticing us to put them into play,
To bang the piano keys and make them zing
With sounds so loud, they’ll make your eardrums ring.
God’s Word, however, teaches us to pray
“Your will be done, Lord.” That’s what we should say.
“I yield myself to you. Please light my way,
And keep my reckless energies at bay.”
Emotion is like energy in motion
Revolving ‘round the hub of our devotion.
When such devotion heeds a worthy notion,
It brings forth songs of joy and not commotion.
