-an Existentialism-

IS THERE NOW ANOTHER WAY, ANOTHER NEW NAME

   FOR THE THEOSOPHICALLY THEOCRACY TO CLAIM

   AND DENY THAT THE LORD FATHER, MAN DID MAKE

   IN HIS OWN IMAGE, AND IN MAN FREE WILL DID INSTATE


   AND NOW MAN DEEMS THE AUDACITY, THE LORD TO BLAME

   AND THAT SOME HUMAN BEINGS DENY NOW THE FATHER HIS NAME

   FOR DOES NOT ALL TENETS AND DOGMATIC DOCTRINES

   FROM PEDESTALS ALOFT AN ORIGINATER SCREAMS


   THE FACT THAT MAN HAS BEEN GIVEN FREE WILL

   IS DECREED FROM HIGH, THOUGH SOME TO DENY IT STILL

   EVEN ACADEMICS AND SCIENTIST THIS TRUTH NOW DECRY

   THAT SOME-ONE, SOMETHING ALL THIS DID SANCTIFY


   NOW THE LAWS OF LIFE AND THE LAWS OF THE LORD FATHER

   ARE LAWS TO FOLLOW WITH CONSIDERATIONS FOR ONE ANOTHER

   AND WHEN THESE LAWS ARE CAST ASUNDER

   THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME, FOR THE HAVOC, BUT EACH OTHER


   WE HAVE FREE WILL TO CREATE FREE WILL TO LOVE

   FREE WILL TO CHOOSE THE PATH HOME TO THE FATHER ABOVE

   OUR FREE WILL TO DESTROY OUR FREE WILL TO MAIM

   BRING UPON US ALONE OUR OWN PUNISHMENTS TO CLAIM


   THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO BLAME FOR OUR SHAME

   BUT WE AS MAN ALONE OUR ROAD TO SANITY CAN ORDAIN

   FOR THE LORD FATHER IS PURE LOVE OF THE HIGHEST

   AND MAN CAN HIMSELF REDEEM IN THE LIGHT OF THAT GREATNESS.
