Happy.
Happy is the one who doesn’t follow advice from someone who thinks and acts on ill will towards others.
Happy.
Happy when they dont stand in the same spot, doing the same things,
Happy.
Happy when they dont sit criticising others who are actually doing what the sitter fears to do.
Happy.
.
Depressed i see everyone elses happy life, but i’m laying in bed. And i think so many ill thinks about my own life and self that i dont do anything.
positive or negative i dont act on anything.
But my mind wanders over,
into everything.
And thinking of others,
Happy are those people not doing everything everyone else is doing,
because,
just because everyone else is doing it.
.
Some people call them wicked, sinners, or mockers.
And then there are the happy people.
Theyre not “church goers”,
They are delighters.
They revel about things we dont even consider.
Theyre almost contrary.
They say things like, “God doesn’t think like us. He forgives the unforgivable.”
They urge people to be kind in the face of hatred. They listen despite swear words being embedded in conversations.
And they see people like they actually matter.
.
They read old documents
– claiming they are true
Written before they were born
but still believing
– like they contain hints to treasures unmatchable –
.
They say they trust what has been said from ancient times
because testing them is verifiable…
.
They share “testimonies”,
their own stories of their interactions with God…
things some people would say are pure luck or coincidence or fortunate…
but they claim divine intervention
as if to claim anything else would compromise the very air they breathe.
.
In the wretched or elated theyre quoting –
memorizing or meditating or mentioning…
Theyre constantly at it like a plant drawn to water.
Theyre always growing, improving, learning, helping
and asking for more…
As if people could stand to give more than they already have –
Insatiable.
Insane.
.
Compassion and kindness are in either hand.
Its a magic trick “normal” people dont get taught.
.
Theyre foolish with time, like they could let go of their scheduled life
and
Just start conversations that would go nowhere with ordinary people, but these God Happy people arent ordinary.
Theyre prospering.
.
Theyre spending money they dont even have, claiming “God told them to”, and still, theyre prospering.
.
While the rest of the world withers away in self satisfaction, these people are sacrificing.
They sing words we wonder if they mean.
Maybe they too wonder if they mean it, but they say it, and that too, maybe, is a sacrifice.
When the words sink in, the tears seep out.
And in lifes trials
with all the pain
and loss
and questions
their talks still rooted in this backwords kingdom talk.
Like what they lost they dont lose.
They say words that sounds pure nonsense…
.
Meanwhile, people all around the world are dying. Dying trying, dying dying…everybodys gonna die.
But the unhappy, the wicked, the sinners, the mockers, theyre dying with “f*ck you!” on their lips
– to the family by their side.
And the Happy people
They dying with smiles and blessing on their lips….
While the sun
rising and falling at the same rate, all over
and the rain is coming and going
people be chasing other peoples stories of happiness, which may or may not even be true…
And the wind
.
blowin away the memory of the unhappy
we be readin about in dusty books of warnings
Which hardly anybody heeding…
.
These people
.
all over seeking to be happy…
Can they stand?
at the end?
and bravely, proudly proclaim all theyve done?
.
The Happy
living and dying merely to hear “Welcome!” and “Well done!”
.
And the wicked?
the sinner?
the mocker?
The Happy claim they were.
.
They claim to be
the wicked, the sinner, the mocker that was and was were
.
and where they gonna be –
.
They say: God is watching over,
and lighting the path of life
Now they follow.
.
Meanwhile,
the unhappy,
seeking light that may or may not be shining,
– are leaping off cliffs
– in search of happiness
where it dont even exist.
.
Shine
Happy
Shine.
