Eschatology

   (contemplating the end)

reveling in the irrelevant

   revelation disregarded

eroding the end

   as escapist endeavor

pretending we're god, we garner paranoia

choosing confusion

   confounding the chaos

apocalyptic apologies

   and anarchist agendas

release today to timeless reality

future unfolding

   fearlessly flourishing

protecting our present

   purposefully preferring 

intuitive obscurity from obvious illusions

defining our death

   with destructive divorce

arrogance afforded

   among adolescence

chosen in rebellion by restless children

~Note~ 

We need to live today as an "ongoing enduring reality", and stop wasting time pining for the end of it all.  Make the most of the life you've been given.  Regardless of appearances, the kingdom of God CANNOT be stopped and is in true reality already here.  Live in this ultimate reality -- the future is NOW.  Be an "outpost of heaven", a foretaste of the true reality as God intended. (Thanks, Jo Ann, for the reminder.)
