the answer remains the same
who's power is it to rule the world?
who's power is it to rule our lives?
in the beginning men ruled their own lives.
one hunted for their own food,
one farmed for their food,
one built their own shelter.
one was free to live or die as they pleased.
community developed and even then man had his autonomy
but.....
slowly law and order came to be
beasts that road on trade and commerce
and ever so slowly........
man found himself shackled.
slave to the system. a system that feeds many but serves few.
today we have little control of our lives
our only choice is to live as society demands
education and employment in services and industries that feed the beast called economy
programming that tells us that is the only way to live life.
constantly aspiring to get more and better than others
a warped value system that values law, order, money more than it values human life
only one law does matter
the law of love.....
but even that has taken new form
"show people how much you love them by throwing money at them"-take them out for lunch,
buy them some jewellery and accept them as they are
yet
most of this is motivated by selfish gain
to gain a heart to belong to
who needs our love most?
those who have been buffeted with good fortune in this world of steel and money?
or the suffering and sick?
those who have helped us through our lives?
or those who despise us?
those from who we gain and grow?
or those who drain us of our last energy?
ALL OF THEM
and what of the slavery we now live in?
this slavery to the system.
the greater slavery is of the heart
who's cruel slave master is the mind pumped with dictum and ideas and principles.....
unfounded in the understanding of the gift of life.
the fullness of which is known to the smallest and the largest
both inanimate and animated
by grace we are here
by love... wellspring from our hearts... boundless and encompassing all
love with no i
love with no me
love for all
only by love can we celebrate the grace of living
only by love can we truly worship
only by love can the world as we know grow from evil into glory
