In Order to Bring About any Loving Change


The eartH was here before humankind. Life, Love, and dare I say, Laughter, began before us, we just personified things…

If the eartH superseded us, then it is, in my opinion, and logically, the eartH that we owe our first known allegiance to.

(What of our families?)

Without the whole of “family” we have little ability to effect the changes needed to cleanse the eartH of our foul uses.

(Are we not then required to Love one another in order to bring about any loving change?)

Positive change, yes. But this still does not change the order of things. The eartH is humankind’s only “known” beholden, leaving what we believe to be, second. We should absolutely love one another, family is most certainly sacred as a whole, but we should never forget where we are.

(So you think our love for the eartH comes before our love of one another, even our own children?)

Yes and no. YES, in the sense that our first duty, stewardship, the cleansing of Home, long now neglected, comes “first”, that we might, as a human race, continue to disseminate the spirit of Love upon our Home (and logically upon one another), that we might continue to have meaning in the flesh... and NO, in the sense that, without our full love for one another, our duty to the eartH will surely continue to fail. Our duty can only be successful if we summon the fullness of our love, for the eartH and for one another.

(What?)

If we cannot fully love as one family, how on eartH can we expect to fully love Home as needed in order to cleanse the eartH of our loveless turn?

(Silence…)

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman
