The desire to think things out must be a part of bearing the image of God, no?
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18

Off with the jacket, off with the tie. We shall be free in the by and by. (Somehow that just kind of popped into my head as I shed my coat and it seemed like it could be construed to have some deep philosophical meaning.)
Like, that's your original poetry?
Actually, heh, I should've known.
Anonymous is, afterall, one of the world's most prolific poets.
. . . proving once again that those who write anonymously get the most credit. For once a person is known to write anonymously, soon all anonymous writings are attributed to him, which is why, in the spirit of humility, it's better not to write anonymously.
This is true. I'm definitely paying twice as much attention as I would to an attributed quote.
Don't let it go to your head.
Better yet, in the spirit of humility, declare yourself.
What? And only get half the attention? Anonymity is good for the ego. There, you can quote me on that. Catchy, isn't it?
Ergh.
"To him that you tell your secret you resign your liberty."
-guess who
What? Now you need four times as much attention? Come now.
Hey, wait a minute. There should be a rule against more than one "anonymous" signatory per post. Identity theft is annoying.

Leave my brain in muddly messes.
I just want to know who wrote the poem. It's stuck in my head.
