On Dit (It is said)--By Don Beukes--United Kingdom

On Dit (It is said)

It is said that God exists
some would argue something amiss
believers battle to understand faith
for some it might be too late
it is said time and again
how earthly life was back then
do we care or even wonder
how the past or present
drags us under?

It is said life is precious
like a drama in various sessions
culprits maim
destroy and plunder
the naïve just live on
amidst the tumultuous thunder
it is said man has a conscience
how easily we believe any nonsense
we cheat sin and judge
when all we need
is a divine plunge!

Don Beukes is a retired teacher of English who now devotes more time to share his words with our global village. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, he grew up and was educated during the last two decades of Apartheid and want to share his literal mentality in order to enable others to adjust their moral compass in an ever-changing society. He also writes under the alias of SalamanDer.

  2. this is a great lesson! simple eye openers sometimes are the most effective and it's unfortunate when they aren't heeded to at that right time, they turn into catastrophes
