We Have a King!

We have a King who can fight for us said the heads of the tribes

We Have a King!


“Where is your God?”
Shouted Goliath on our border
And repeated this every day.
“Where is your God?
Who can challenge me?” kept Goliath saying.
The people were nervous
They assembled around our prophet
And told him: “Give us a king, a warrior,
Who should fight this giant, for us!”
Hearing these words, the prophet was sad
“You don’t need any king”, he answered
“God is your king”.
The people could not understand the wise words
Then the prophet murmured,
“They have eyes and they don’t see,
And ears and they don’t hear”.
Finally, the prophet gave them a man as a King. 
Since then, God left our schools, our houses,
And our dollar bills.
“We have a king”, the people are shouting,
“We have a king, now what?” says the prophet,
“You have a king”.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.

Explains the realizations that have given the author the views of living life fully. The life each person dreams about. You must take a look at yourself before dreams can be reached. Deciding what is the core of belief.
