Around deception there is stealth.
It covers up the root word steal.
Deceivers hope we won’t reveal
that there is more than earthly health.
Behold the idol. See its wealth?
It rots. It burns. It turns to dust.
Without true change those dying must
resettle with the trash of hell.
Look down with dread. That dropping well
grows deep with lies betraying trust.
Ronovan Hester offers the rhyme word “steal” to be used in a B line of a décima for this week’s Décima Poetry Challenge.
I was thinking of Revelation 21:8. The photos are an attempt to hint at what’s still available should one change one’s mind if one hasn’t already.
Poetry, Short Prose and Walking 
Great poem. Interesting warning:
“Without true change those dying must
resettle with the trash of hell.”
Thankful for Jesus and his deliverance.

There’s no need to try to make me understand anything. Time is short, Fred.
If the Bible doesn’t interest you, I suggest C.S. Lewis. In particular I recommend Miracles. Lewis identifies three groups of people: (1) Naturalists (atheists), (2) Christians and (3) Pantheists. These pantheists practice generic New Age spiritualities, which are very old, that focus on sex and feel-good emotionalism. I am trying to remain in the second group and avoid the other two.
Best wishes on finding your way.

Remembering is not understanding. Understanding is a way to change your mind. Changing your mind is the basis for repentance.
See Matthew 4:17: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4&version=KJV
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Such insight in your poem Frank. I love it!
I tried my hand at this form today using the same word, steal. Sharing it with you. Did I do it correctly? I am taking a break from sharing my writing on my blog for a while. A few reasons.
I dont have a title (yet)
Was it my choice to walk this sod
A game to score a base to steal
Or dice and strategy reveal
Is my success in your applause:
What if this is the great maraud
What was before us we don’t see
Does written truth cry out to me
And though all that which is stolen
Because it has left me broken
Was redeemed upon calvary

This is correct as I understand the form. The only constraints are ten syllables on each of ten lines with the required rhyme pattern. You have all of that.
The flow seemed to break for me on lines 8 and 9, but after reading them again they made sense.

Shown
How Limited
Your Understanding
Is…
If You
Believe
Time is
Short You
Have No Clue
What The Story
Of Jesus Means
If You Ever
Get To
Heaven Now
You’ll Understand
How Long
Now
Is And
Who ‘i Am’
To Be Clear
That’s
Metaphor
Don’t Take It
Literally
If
You Can…
You are Lost
And Have No
Clue
For ‘Now’
At
Least….
If You Believed
Perhaps You
Could Do ‘It’
Too At
Least
Through
The
Eyes
Of a
Child
That
Come First
Difference
Tween Me
And You
Is Obviously
i Believe
As Actually
i Really
Did Greater
Works
Than
Jesus
Considering
He Didn’t Write
A Word It Wasn’t
Much Of a Challenge
Yet if You “Heard”
What
The
Story
Of Jesus
Says You’d
Understand The
Eyes of a Child
Are Greater Than
All the Words Meanwhile
You Piddle All
The Unlimited
Possibilities
Greater Works
Than JeSuS
Entail
After
All He
Only Lived
33 Years
And
Didn’t
Have an iMac
Or iPhone Not
Even an Android
As “They” say
Prepare A Way
Other Than that Friend
i Know the Bible
Backwards and
Forwards Trying
To Help You
Understand Is
No Different Than
Numerous Atheists
Yet They
Actually
Understand
More as Generally
They Are More Open
Minded Not Covered
With Interpretations
Of
Others…
Christians Generally
Speaking Are The
Worst At
Understanding
Any Poetry
As Conservative
Literal Thinking
Go Hand In
Hand
With
Closed Minds
Surely Not As
Conducive
To Understanding
Metaphor Eyes
And Ears Beyond
Organs of Both
As ‘They’ Say…
SMiles Friend Now
If You Actually Read
The Bible And
Understand
John 14:12
It Gives
Full Authority
For Anyone Now
To Write A Bible
11 Times
Greater Than
The Mini-Effort
Of Before
Plus Now If
You Understand
The Message
Of Jesus Still
You Understand
Love is Greater Than
All The Words
Seeing This
With the
Eyes of a Child
And No it has
Nothing to Do
With the Ridiculous
Places You
Have Linked
On Your Blog
Associated With
Q-Anon Lies
That Have
Led to
Murdering
Innocent
Humans….
i Suggest
You Fully
Separate Yourself
From Cults like
That if You Are
Any Part of Them
At All And Focus
On Love
The
Child
Sees At
Least that’s
Still What the
Story of Jesus
Suggests
Yet Folks
For Thousand
Of Years Focus
On The End
Of The
World
Just
Another
Cult Whether
Or Not You Agree
With What Divinity
Schools Teach
This
Is
What
PHD Students Learn
Yet Understanding
Metaphor is Beyond
The Realm
Of School
And Poetry
Science
Now
Clue:
Original Art
Without
Paint by Numbers…
