POETIC LONGING 4
In Response To The Longing For War,
Poetic Mongering Is The Answer
(Written on 22 July 2003)
Life's ever-persistent challenge INTRODUCES the duty to pursue
The struggle for JUSTICE without failing to keep up the battle
For EQUALITY without any bigotry, discrimination and prejudice
That in acquiring brings the Only True HOPE, Victory and Peace
The exercise of humankind's RIGHTS and duties in this endeavor
Brings Real POWER that is the only mastery worth struggling for
Which FATHERS and furthers what creation originally conceived
That those TWO qualities of Equality and Justice would continue
To overcome all that the world we LIVE in obstructs them with
So True FREEDOM exists all over this great planet as intended
In BRAVELY overcoming their opposites' program to predominate
Life further requires the self-DIAGNOSTIC of self-examination
For our necessary future SECURITY which cannot exist without
Rehabilitating ourselves from the DISABILITY of selfishness
And SEEKING to only please ourselves rather than Truly Caring
About and for eachother as True FAIRNESS demands of all of us
The long-term LOSSES that result from our self-aggrandizement
Include a DISEASE that eats away at our True Purpose for being
A long overdue TREATMENT for the apathy and malaise of Earth
Toward the BROTHERHOOD of "people-kind" for a much better today
Life's TRUE Peace beckons to us from the fringes of the shadows
Real LOVE drawing us away from false wanderings in evil's grasp
To the essential GAINS that Only dwell with the existential ones
Who are so BEAUTIFUL in their leading non-phony lives in reality
Without projecting anything but IMAGES of what they really are
While being ALONE in the True Individualism of souls' enlightened
"One" TOGETHER with nobody but those who are also "one" together
And yet APART unto themselves in unique God-Maker-reflection
With nothing but True SMILES of resignedness in abject suffering
That is HELD back in favor of embracing release of others' hell
To time and AGAIN have mercy on their excessive cares and pains
Reaching out to much more than ENDURE what they are tested with
In life's shaking and stirring, THANKFULLY and gratefully always
