Jst (Aka) Jesus Standard Time Poem by Luke Easter

Jst (Aka) Jesus Standard Time



Ask several different people to look at their watch,
Or in the home it’s the same with all of your clocks,
Those always entertaining the past or future in mind,
So, in the same place all will not have the same time.

Standard time surfaced in the 1800’s due to the railroad,
Not because of lives lost but to property and the payload,
Death actually meant nothing; people were easily replaced,
Huge losses to trains and cargo well, that’s a different case.

As it was way back then so it’s happening in society today,
Material goods still rein supreme we dare not throw away,
Lose a life or limb and that is of no serious consequence,
Ha, what about business or political priority? War is a hint.

Cain! Man’s standard time embellishing what evil has done,
Able! An example, “I am well pleased” speaking of the Son,
Mountain, Eastern, Central, Pacific are you known by these?
Or is your time instructed, governed, maintained by J.S.T.?

Are you faithfully remembering ashes to ashes, dust to dust?
Is your Timex ticking love, equality, forgiveness and trust?
Will there be a joyous celebration at the time you’re to leave,
Maybe gathering together at your passing only to be deceived?

Is there any struggle to find encouraging words by friends?
Will many family members and co-workers actually attend?
What should be the testimony in the reading of your eulogy?
100% your name’s written in the book of life or a mystery?

“For we walk by faith” in Jesus Standard Time,
“Not by sight” what the world puts on our mind,
By the promise made to Jacob, Isaac & Abraham,
Setting my watch with J.S.T. Yes I can. Yes I am.

Does everyone understand upon taking that very last breath?
How you breathed before this will determine where you rest,
With all that’s going on in the world how can things be fine?
Relaxing's easy if your watch is set to Jesus Standard Time.
