"Lead me not

into temptation"

It's such a funny phrase.
Why would God Himself
lead my soul astray?
Unless of course, 
The Author 
didn't know the truth?
Meant to provide insightful thought,
on something with which to chew? 
Was it transcribed 
in error... maybe
to stir the fear in you?

We're all divine sparks
wearing meat suits. 
Looking through distorted
mirror, external carnivals ensue.
Distracted by the past, from
loss, bliss, abuse.
It's no wonder! And no use
that we pray to one another.
Instead:
How can I keep Myself, really,
from getting into trouble.

Trouble with who?!
Didn't The Knower know
what he'd be getting me into?
I'm confused!
Would never've had children
if I thought there'd be a chance.
One in heaven, one in hell.
"Oh well! They danced their dance!"
A belief I still refuse. 

Words from a time that
spoke wisdom to thine.
Not at all wrong but 
outdated with time. 
Doesn't mean He's not wise!
Gotta read between the lines.

Upgrade pending....

How do you talk to Divine?
