True Resurrection

True resurrection starts
When human minds and hearts
Leave sacrificial arts
To claim their lives on earth
The highest gods of worth
That men can know.

When sacrificing dies,
The human soul will rise
In hand and tongue and eyes
Till "I" is then adored
The one heroic sword
That all men know.

And independence, true,
Will run dependence through,
And Time will glow.

Another cornerstone to the Engligthenment ... Christ gave himself an example to bring us all into the unconditional moment of joy. Love and peace.
