A race to the end
All of life is a grotesque race to the end
The unsavoury mix of sin, righteousness, hate and love
A journey through basic instructions
Parameters from Him, who made yesterday, hold today and discern tomorrow
The architect of time, destination and the route through and to it
 A sojourn through time flagged off with divine bellow
Directives unblemished, clear and definite
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat†(Genesis 2:16)
“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die†(Genesis 2:17)
The primary hint on disobedience, sin and effect
AÂ consequence as bright as sunlight
 Heavenly guide jettisoned by man
Wobbling down the wide and beautiful terrain
The road of destructive bliss
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof
are the ways of death†(Proverbs 14:12)
Lamentation, pain and death unleash ferocious claws of grief
Cotton of privilege and liberty lost in the wind.
Enter the bitter chase for survival
Avoidable toil, groan and tears
Reprimands setup with a hammer
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children…†(Genesis3:16)
“And unto Adam he said… cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground†(Genesis 3:17-19)
The end was within sight; everything became vanity.
Where is man headed?
What is known of his duration?
The journey devoid of time frame
A return trip to the dust
“For out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return†(Gen. 3:19b)
Immaterial if the mat, cloth, or casket is crafted in gold
 A walk-through with no rational definition
 Be mindful of its inevitable outcome
Guided by a quest for eternity
Thinking, living and relating right with the patentee
Knowing that the stopover is brief and transient
Focusing rightly on heaven; the ultimate and perfect abode
 With a terminal end, God asserts authority
The wheel of justice revolve around His command
 Time, a colossal waste without heaven
The race, zilch without Jesus
All mortal attainment and possession, irrelevant in the grave
“God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required
of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God†(Luke 12:20-21)
At the finish line, knowledge is lost of the starting block
Oblivious the race to the end is over.
