Immortal

 
The constitution of the universe
The general principle of all laws
And strain of reason that infers
All awareness’ truths and flaws
In the realms where life occurs
It is the one source of all cause

Man, minute part of the Whole
Powerless to be of significance
Fleshy vehicle of immortal soul
Flooded by insistent ignorance
Still capable of punching a hole
In cosmos’ inflated sustenance

Human both predator and prey
Hunters who also serve as food
To conjurers of pain and decay
These reapers of forbidden fruit
Brutally attacking man’s survey
Of the truth they have pursued

The lawless ruling this universe
May provisionally relish control
Impose on man spell and curse
To constitute their sinister goal
Yet their destiny is much worse
Than that of man’s injured soul

    great look into humanity
    but who is not guilty of this to some extent
    look at Hitler what created him, a single thought that he fed and believed and it grew, we all do this to some extent, he served up his thoughts on a platter and they filled themselves up with it to a point of no return. we can not remove others thoughts we are only able to acknowledge ours and see them for what they are.
    what creates the world and if the only tool we have is our thoughts then what tool shall I use, what thoughts shall I create
    it is simple as that, we should not overthink.
    direct look into what needs to be changed in the world.
    but how do we change it my friend
    we need to get to the root there are not enough bandaids to cover all the victims.
    God bless you my friend...

    I believe evil to be a concept, to undermine all of natural creation. Those who impose their will,compromising the living breathing experience of every generation. Those who see strength in the flames instead of wisdom in water. Those who try to consume all in their endevours to be significant. The universe is of a proportion unimaginable. That is what makes life on earth so special. There was a time when existance was valued as a significant experience, without the grandeur of wealth mocking our simple minded yet thoughtfull aproach to living. The universe most people live in is governed by men. Controlling the economic elements and destructive forces which hold our experience to ransom.
    We have the potential to create particle chaos.
    The law of two snakes devouring each others tail is the governing force over behaviour of mankind.
    They rob us of so much, and people are unaware of the blind commitment. It is a chaotic situation below the surface. They, with no soul fear their own hollow reflection. Insignificant to the spiritual laws of natural creation. Ignorant!
    Great write! Thank-you for sharing such insightful and creative insights with us

    Magnificent!

    Impressive read, I loved the line... Flooded by insistent ignorance. Still capable of punching a hole In cosmo's inflated sustenance.

    This is a terrific piece on the state of the cosmos, the darkness before the dawn. Abuses are coming to light from all quarters - our responsibility is to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
    Best wishes always.

    Light Messenger,

    I call them little devils, just little ones for a cent a piece. The doctorine of hell does not stop crime, does not stop rats in goverments, still they use it to control the unaware and its suscessful today as it was yesterday. They can injure soul but not spirit Chris. Love is a spirit they can't touch.
    Thank you for posting another delightful poem my precious friend!
    Love,
    Judy
