~ Tis the Season ~
Tis the season, for"Love"....
The time of giving and caring
Peace on earth, and good will, to all of life!
To lay aside the swords, the spears, the guns
Embracing the hope of a tomorrow
Clear, from the sediments of today....
These fundamental rudiments, of compassion and mercy
Empathy, for everything that breathes and lives
That all humankind, all creation, may walk unscathed
By the pervasive shadows, that have lingered much too long!
Casting their impiousness, about the face of this world
Crossing paths, and building brick walls....
While countless souls suffer, within their empty draining hands
Creatures causing plight, impaling the light of hope
Stealing dreams, before they were born
Crushing hearts, before they could even beat!
As my gazing eyes glance, about this place I have known
I have often dried tears....
For more than this, that I would wish to know?
Lassoing the moon, to pull it down as a deliverer, from all of their pain
The best answer that I could find, found, within this planet and this place
Walking through endless mazes, peering, through these mirages
That bleed out the words of cure, ironically, with no cure at all....
These grand illusions, instilled by leviathans repressive and overt thought!?
While as the always present continuum, of suffering carries on
Drenched amid waters, flowing from their eyes, mingled, within their own blood....
Thousands of years, and how far have we come
I ponder, I consider, every moment that I breathe?
As another priceless life, takes their final heartbeat, beaten, beneath tainted soiled dust!
Aside from the fact, of what I have seen, known, with my very own eyes....
Am I so blind, to believe in all of these fairytales and lies?
Wrapped in this mummies cloth, of satans perpetual guise....
No! Tis but the season to recognize, the birth of a Man, named "Jesus Christ"
Who came to give His life~to wage this war, that humankind, could never hope to win!
So, when I reflect upon all of them, and, I reflect upon 'the cure ....
I contemplate the times, time, and forevers eternal door
I wind this rope, and I take aim at the stars
Thinking, "Merry Christmas," peace and good will, to all, and to all of life!
