You Are Saved? What Have You Lacked?

Many a times

Many a world’s cycle

The question is put forth

‘You are a Christian? You are born again?’

‘You are very young, What have you lacked?’

The question is then sealed with an answer

Or an affirmation of course

‘Enjoy life! Else you will later regret.’

Wait… Am I the sane person here?

Or am I the supernatural being

Belittling myself with shallow minds?

A sovereign God, made a relative man

An ultimate being created the simple man

Gave him everything on earth and a choice

But… His intention was not

For him to sin knowingly

Should I depart from the love?

Simply because am young?

Should I sin, wallowing in wild acts?

In the name of having fun?

Should I enjoy the world while am young

So that I do not regret in my old age?

Does it make me a lesser person

Or lacking, by clinging to my faith?

I am not lacking but you are

I am not in need but you are

As you have not experienced the love

The peace and joy and happiness

The fearless soul that urges

‘Come on Devil, you can do better.’

You haven’t experienced the self

That is willing to do everything

And anything in His name

Because I know I will never fail

What would you be daring to do

In your OWN strength?

So who is lacking between us?
