The Here and the Now

Do you believe in blank?

By Skyler SaundersPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

If blank were real, then

That would render cash

To be useless. Cash

Wouldn’t matter at

All because blank would

Supply all of our

Needs. Fantasy lands

Would rain the coins down

From above. Below,

Moneylenders would

Be happy to grant

Loans. Blank does not have

The power to move

Markets. So, you say

That man has free will?

Well, of course he does,

Just not in the way

That believers in

Blank do. Free will says

That a man may choose

His fate. That fate is

Not predetermined.

That his choices guide

His life and those are

Based on reason. Blank

Does not need reason.

Blank requires faith.

Faith in the feeling

The He will bestow

His followers with

Gifts of money and

Other riches. That

Rocks could turn into

Gold bars and the sand,

Grains of platinum. No,

There is no blank, so

Fear not whether you

Store up wealth in the

Afterlife. Think of

The here and the now.
