Contemplation

I contemplate endings and beginnings, as the globe turns much more times than my 
Better chances have  burned,  I feel eternity's intent to smaller or larger affairs is
Almost democratic In it's indifference, also i pick up inferrance of certain change
Yet life & death are quite unmoved, still intransigent binary bedfellows trencher men
Swallowing our life's days nights efforts, in what cause? The cause of freedom? the
Cause of consumerism? One thing I feel it cannot be for love' or honour; or equality
So if its none of the above what can we gain? What do we count as gain? Division?
Derision? Knife crime tension fear, we have the one parent familys the children in
Pre school  all day,  women at risk at when alone; prolific drug use, the hostility to
Creation and God' The stifling of free speech? We have all these as part of our reality
Yet more is required it seems' to redress the balance? Or should that be
Imbalance.?

divide and conquer is the by-phrase of the day, my friend. (though we are hearing other messages meant to fool the masses). Watch "Meet Bill Gates" by Canadian independent journalist by James Corbett, and you will understand more the agenda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8alro6mjcsU

Wow Joe there's a lot in there, and it is all interconnected. But one thing you didn't mention directly was/is greed. Or is jealousy, that drives many? And therefore tips the scales. I'm not sure there is one answer, but I really like the smooth style of your words.

Thank you Scott, I am I think by now having time to consider 'a raw poet' as the essence of poetry is existence/God derived so I am driven at times a deluge of words pushes out so I can't see me ever being a classic poet as styles change Yet God is eternal so then I am a true poet as its not me I am standing back; how can attempt to harness Him? But the meaning of the above I think? is sins fruition which must be rotten yeild'

So much going on Joe, It does seem though, those that want power and run the whole planet, have no time for God.
