~ What-then could be ... ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
If our-hate wanted nothing more  ... 
nothing more ... but the best 
~ for-another, itself ... ? ~ 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Saw the reality, and-
felt-the-evidence, was-
shown the light in view 
of-the-division that-has-
~ risen; taken-root-and-
sprouted-up ...  growing-
~ from-the-cold center; of ~
~ its heart of greed, the selfish, ~ 
~ poisonous desire for everything ~
~ more, moving-toward the hour of its ~
~ isolation, choking-out-all-that-is genuine,
advancing-onward within-this belief, and-yes
~ what-if-it-was-awakened for the first time, to ~
the-fallacies-of-its-own-faithless and complete-
~~~~~~~~~~~~ denial of its, ~~~~~~~~~~~
~ lack-of trust its ~ 
hopeless condition. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes what-if through 
perfect kindness, 
it-was provided-
another way ... !

~~~        
~  ~~ ~
~ Was-shown- ~
~ the      hard    sting, ~
~ the-    absent-    hand- ~
~ of-its-ugliness, ~
~ prejudice, ~
~ all-the- ~
~ tears-it- ~
~ caused- ~
~ that- ~
~ have-
~ fallen-
~  in-  ~
~ despair. ~

~~
~~ Looked- ~~
~~ down-deep- ~
~~~~ within, ~~~~
~~~ cried ~~~
~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~
~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~ out-for-Jesus-itself for-the-first-  ~~~~ 
time no please; ~~    no ... no-more;- ~~ please Jesus God,  
no make-it-stop;        carrying-with-it                and knowing-
for certain                if-but-for-but-only-            for-a-moment-
the-painful-            ~~~~ result, ~~~              of-its flight
from-this-              ~~~~~ truth; ~~~~~                from its  
                listless, and-purely-                  
              senseless, movement-                
              ~~~ of aggression, ~~~                
sharing, the-feeling also- 
~~ felt;- by its devotion to ~ 
~ this. By ~~            ~ allowing ~    
~~ itself-to-live              exclusively, 
~ in-this-fruitless, ~              indifference, 
truly-stubborn,               inconclusive;
~  erroneous, ~            ~~ illusion! ~~
