Gods Country

.

There’s a thunder in the lightning
in a dazzling display of darkness.
Yet there’s music in the soul from
Gods country in the fall.

United is the medicine from
those who can see.

There’s a man with good
vision that’s blind
as can be.

Doesn’t see his evil
actions; lack of
conscious sensitivity.

He’s a leper without
notion of his
negative emotions

Lame by way of
the programming
of his brain.

What will he profit
by misreading his prophet.
Living the life of an annoyed
malevolent mechanoid.

Love, not hate his
negative trait.
Compassion from
the heart, his hate
may dissipate.

So the blind and the lame
from terror will depart.

Its true. Some are so blind , they go through the motions of living not seeing the beauty of life which is there. This is a great thinking poem , crafted with much thought...M

This is a very fine write, Andy. Intention admirable. And your perception as to his delusions is "spot on". But sooo hard for most of us to forgive. There is pure evil out there that has been allowed to run the course of this world. But "only for a time". We lost more than thousands of lives that day. We lost our sense of safety. Life as we had known it will never be the same. You must feel this after the bombings. Heck, with the Isle's history, maybe we should learn resiliency from you Brits! This gave me chills as I remember that day as if it were yesterday and I'm a West-coaster. He was a member of an extremist sect and NOT representative of true Islam. Some despise Muslims period. But the world is not B&W. The distinction must be made. We are conflicted and this is what set off the divisions we now face...

Hi Andy, there are lots of them in my country, but I still see a glimpse of hope that better days would eventually come to this corruption laden Philippines, for I know that these lame and lepers will not live forever. Blessings to you.

Love,

... patience is so key to all to this; if Jesus was around his 12 for so long and they STILL didn't get it, then how much more do WE need the godly patience of GRACE in the place of judgement. We have to quit going round dispensing our single, solitary wisdoms from on high and acting if that's job done. "Hungry bellies have deaf ears"... so do hurting hearts. xx

There is a breed out there that we can for sure tell of being God's curse!

I sadly think there's far more than one, these sad days.
