Four out of five of the following series of poems (Poetic Longing, Parts 2-5) are written based on sets of "anchor" words used for the links to my various writings within my website:
POETIC LONGING 5
In Response To The Longing For War,
Poetic Mongering Is The Answer
With thanks to Jackson Browne
(Written on 13 October 2003)
The present CONDITION of the United States
Is extremely precarious and doubtful
But the way most "Americans" live,
You'd think we were living in SERENITY
When almost nothing but PRAYER can
Save us from the brink of death
The so-called RIGHTEOUS commit
"Perpetual war" for drug, gas
And oil profits without any True AWARENESS
Of their avoidable evil
Or the final JUDGMENT that certainly
Hangs over all their exploits
Since the gift of DISCERNMENT is inevitably
And always unavailable
Along with any True BENEVOLENCE,
Only what they fraudulently claim
To be DEFERENCE for the innocent
That they slaughter without mercy
And only EXEMPLIFIES how controlled by evil
And depraved they really are
Proving that they are only in HARMONY
With darkness and evildoing
The HUMAN compassion that should predominate
On this wicked planet
Is absent from the PERSONALITY
Of those Machiavellian men who lead
As the "cowboy mogul" REBELS for the opposite
Of any real freedoms
And AGAINST the civil liberties of all
Sovereign people everywhere
Making into REALITY a globe which is mastered
By overarching greed
That is UNMASKING their final design
Of ruling us with corporatism
Committed by FIENDS who appear to be angels
Of light and salvation
Whose true PURPOSES are an obvious threat
To Freedom and Democracy
But the WARM glow of True Peace and Liberty
Are yet to be acquired
Along with the SANITY of the Blessed Hope
Of Deliverance from self
A GROWING life of Tranquillity lived
In Selflessness & Hopefulness
And the SPIRIT of True Benevolence,
Equality and Justice every day
With the REBIRTH of our Creator inside us
The only Control over us
Truly GLEAMING from our characters
The Glory of Jesus the Messiah
Removing the darkness of NIGHT from our souls
For the Sake of God
Having a POETRY of rewritten hearts
And minds Chosen for Service
Thinking DREAMS of the Eternal Life
Coming when we head Heavenward
For the Heart of the Universe where all
The galaxies SPIRAL out of
Our Eternal HOME away from our worldly home
Knowing no discomforts
That'll bring about the full REMAKING
Of Earth for our Final Abode
Made GLORIOUS by the fact that our earthly home
Will become Heaven itself
Even more MAGIC than Heaven alone,
As the Whole Earth will be Eden
To be enjoyed with ecstasy for our entire FUTURE
For Ever and Ever
A WORLD without peer becoming the Apex
Of the Cosmos into Eternity
