Walking Stones

First came the gods of old
Who made man their ants
"They can walk our stones
To bind power to this land"

Then came the violence of men
And the right to rule for kings
"Upon the backs of servants
Our stones will bring
......honor"

Then came a god
Who wrote on the stone
Commandments claiming
He alone

..............................is G...O...D

War after war
Battle after Battle
Back and forth with spirit and nature
Mystery remains
Man explores
Meaning of the word "nomenclature"

The more knowledge is gained
Ignorance abounds
Lack of awe
Is the assurance, Wisdom will NOT be found

For those who seek a name
On the walls of womb
Not devised by creation
The ONE to whom 
Word and Deed belong
Forgave without hesitation

But forgiveness doesn't negate responsibility!!!

When the stones walked to Throne
The crown was laid to the ground
He took up suffering on a cross
And laid His life down

All manner of right to rule
On His created land
Was forfeited when LOVE
Brought Wisdom to clothe His naked man

Hearts of stone
Have been turned in to flesh
The Spirit of God
Has brought the soul to rest

So in the end
The sorting is easy as pie
Those who have names on stones
Are above those they left to die

Note: I have my reasons, and they are many. God knows them, and I left the justice with Him.
