    I was writing a blog post on my xanga about something that happened to me the other day and it happened to start rhyming. It's very interesting and a true story.

    I was walking toward my next class when I passed two men preaching Christianity
    Stopping, I sat down and listened to them out of curiosity
    The gathering seemed intent on proving the two wrong in every aspect
    I watched the discussion burn like an unattended cigarette
    Tired of the bickering between one and the other, I stand up to leave
    One of the Christians sees this and asks, "What do you believe?"
    "Like there's more than one road, one path to any location
    There isn't one single right path to our final destination"
    He nods in comprehension and says, "That may be true
    But do you happen to have your car keys with you?"
    I positively respond, and he asks for my keys
    I give them to him and he says to me
    "To get on that road, you're gonna need a car
    With the keys to your house, will you get very far?"
    "No," I say, "I can't unlock my car of course
    Just like how my car keys will not unlock yours
    We're given different keys, to our own set of wheels
    Unique to us, like the differences in our beliefs, I feel
    And while our keys are different in this case
    Can't our respective cars drive to the same place?"

    I think that is really well written and everything. I am an atheist so I don't believe in the afterlife (all of our cars to drive to the same place though- nothingness).

    But I really liked how that was written.

    Good Stuff. :)

    I'm a Christian, and I follow the whole 'keys to our own set of wheels' thing.

    Anyway, in any way it was great.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I'm currently writing a collection of writings from the last 5 years of my life. This is definitely going to be included. It basically ended my writer's block and I'm very proud of it.
