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

Waiting for It

Why do they stay there, between war and peace? Sky’s tapestry doles out guns, bombs and rocks while flesh and bone swim away from the ache yet live on as the food for the murder of peace. Why do we hide from the truth as if it were an ogre while death makes a home inside their living and war dispatches a raven to their door, smirking with the teeth of empire? Why do we wait, stooped for another wink? The sky’s drapery has tossed down ample clues, peace is breathing in harmony with war. (Road-maps are useless to blind leaders.) Why do they hold there, hunched in the gloom? Hatred’s bird cackling with bereavement needs end. Are we not rightly dishonored when we fill its trough with blood? © 2007 mrp/thepoetryman
