Shooting for perfection

Shooting for the moon
Shooting for perfection through
The spirit 
To reach the perfection
That Jesus braced
Through the tempting of the world

Jesus focused on the spiritual things 
While most of us focus
On what the world
Says about us
The visions of the world
Religion is the worlds
We are from God
He is who we chose follow

I am shooting for the place
Behind the those pearly white gates
Oh spirit help me
Focus on things through you
So I see the upward crown
I pray for people to see past
The religion in me
See to the heart of Jesus
In me

Do we as brother and sisters
Really want to focus
On the words the world pins
To the church
That Jesus death  and raising again
Are we a stumbling block
In front of brothers and sisters

To the world
Religion has become a taboo
So let it end on this note
What is your view on shooting for religion?
Or shooting for a Jesus in the spiritual things?
Shooting for perfection

I believe in shooting for the stars. The perfection, he alone has chosen for us.. Brilliantly brought forth Liz.. I loved the images throughout.. Rough draft or not, this was brought forth wonderfully! We still need faith to guide us in this lifetime.. Without we are lost.. I may not know much on the world, but I do believe in everlasting life. Hope, and joy that there will be a place for me to rest my head when I pass on..

Thanks you for sharing..

I believe Jesus would be heart broken by the deeds of man against woman and children. Your poem open the door to many questions. Religion is a powerful force if heading in the right direction. Jesus taught love and forgiveness. We need them today. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
