From Start to Finish (a pantoum) - POEM of the MONTH!

From Start to Finish [a pantoum]
 
From start to finish
Running for what?
Deeds to accomplish
Within time finite?
 
Running for what
Could be one day,
Within time finite?
Before doomsday?
 
Could be, one day
All is destroyed
Before doomsday,
A reality we avoid.
 
All is destroyed,
The mind is lax,
A reality we avoid,
It’s a parallax.
 
The mind is lax,
Deeds to accomplish,
It’s a parallax
From start to finish.
 
 
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” say the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generation go, …”
-       Ecclesiastes 1:1-4a
 
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say “I find no pleasure in them—” … Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear GOD and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For GOD will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.
-       Ecclesiastes 12:1 and 13-14

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father [Creator] – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
-       I John 2:1-2
 
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he (Creator] is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
-       I John 1:8-9
