KINGDOM COME


I found this to be interesting. I stumbled upon it from a front page news story on my desktop. My first thought was, this is a new's story?

"By the inspiration of God, the Apostle Paul tells us that the devil has a kingdom and rulers in that kingdom as recorded in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The kingdom of the devil is all around us. It is the world’s system that is diametrically opposed to Jesus Christ."

The only actual kingdom of fear is in our thoughts. An "actual" devil resides there too, needless, pointless, undesired, indifferent too, but one that rises in us all if we believe in only the story and forgo the required journey. Forgiveness and repentance are two different things, unless you are born forgiven of what you have done or might do- past, present, future. What's to do after that? Decorate Heaven with Love and Peace, weave them both in the collective sway, Forgiveness as backdrop, Laughter as medicine, Child as testament to God's Creation...

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

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. . [a quietude begins, the truth being heard and heeded, grooving to the flow] ~ © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
