"naught"

Free Verse rhyme

For the cause of naught, all wars have been fought
For in Love’s true entity, God provided a plenty
For the cause of naught, hate has been wrought
 
Sin was the begin of naught, for which greed of wars are fought
For cause of naught, lust was thrust, from mind of dust
For `tis naught therein the mind doth trust

God’s dread, as proverbial cat was led, mind’s curiosity was fed
The naught by curiosity fed,  to the mind was dead, as God hath said.................(Gen. 2;17)
The debt of God’s dread, His Son, to the naught of humanity was fed

The derivative mind, thrust forth into life
Departed from life, entered into strife
Now the tree of naught, the mind is wrought
`Tis naught, within the mind, where war is first fought

It has been said; War is Hell
But hell is a soul at war with God and self
Un-- till,--- by total destruction,-- nothing is left,--- of ego self
The conclusion of naught,--- `tis mind’s illusion

Economic  self destruct, by the naught of mind’s luck......................(Rev. Ch 17 & 18 Harlot)
For `tis by two party feed,-- `tis America’s mind greed
By the corporate course, they shall have to force------Us
Eventually Love will intercede, swallowing the mind’s greed
A Mosaic seed, shall swallow Corporate greed,      Even,
As it doth feed, thinking it `tis,-- itself-- God speed

For the “Naught” Christ’s blood bought!!!

Everything in the Universe has a "use" a "purpose" We can choice to be a "good tool" or a "bad tool" tool/instrument etc. Good would not exsist if man did not know/label/name evil. God is all and these terms mean nothing to God. God strives only for balance, harmony, a healthy "body" none of which can exsist without death & life/black & white/ hot and cold/ as creatures with minds we do get to decide which side of the scale we wish to be on. Light & Love

great ending Moses, love the way you tied in America and it's fat cat syndrome. Eventually love will intercede, but then I thought it already has. I think eventually Love has to take control of the situation and force the greed out of the mind. In today's world I don't think this will happen anytime soon...

It all started because someone felt a lack of love and hell began. You are right, hell is a soul at war with God and self. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt beliefs and thank you for your comments on my poem. "Turn the Light on". Love and blessings, Caroline.

There is a lot of truth in this thought-provoking poem, Moses! Yes, war IS hell, corporate greed is swallowing God's plan for man, and we must remain hopeful that we can prove worthy of the sacrifice Christ made. Surely, it must not all be for "Naught." Brilliant writing, Moses! Love your spiritual mind and soul. Carolyn

Moses, you've created another mind-enriching masterpiece! We can search all we want for peace, but the flesh of man perpetuates the greed and lust for the things of this world. Our peace may be found in Him and things that are of His kindgom. God speed, indeed! Hugs, Donna
