A far cry; ascent, unless we decry Fearful desires that makes loving heart sigh Know, oh hermit, we are our tormentor Both, the meek prisoner and fierce captor Deaf to voice of conscience, as love draws nigh Free soaring spirit, reaches for the sky Living life fully, before we do die Let’s make not merger, with The Creator A far cry This world of contrast, has both lows and highs Ours is but to do, not to reason why In silence and stillness, meditator In midst of turbidity, placater Is as yet the life we lead, a deep lie A far cry 26-April-2021 This or That, Vol 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: A far cry

Sounds like a preparation for war, maybe a spiritual one. I stand to be corrected.

Separation = misalignment ~ Oneness = alignment (with love)
