Problem With Parables 01.09.2009 Poem by Margaret Alice

Parables pose serious questions, when
Jesus said he knocks on our hearts and
if we open unto Him, He comes in, I am
worried that if the person within is bound
with strings, scared and gagged, not able
to open the door, however much they want
to break free, will Jesus turn away and leave
me be? He should open the door and save
me instead of waiting while the devil is
singing and laughing and dancing with
glee, though a happy devil sounds so
enticing, I cannot fear him as religion
recommends, still; it is unfair to expect
an idiot to open the door, it should be
done for me; though I try with all my
might, I cannot open the door to my
heart, and it is not fair, not fair at all!
