One man raging.
We all know that this world broke a long time ago.
The answer lies within those things that we most hate.
The answer lies in shifting our very souls.
We don't even know how to love.
There is a battle on the field of our unconscious.
It is between love of other people and love of ourselves.
One must rule the other.
So few realize how much they must sacrifice to truly love anyone.
So few realize how much they must be humiliated in order to be redeemed.
We must bow down to serve love.
We must bow down to serve kindness.
We must bow to down to God who is love itself.
Lose your sense of entitlement.
You are destined for love.
Follow the path you were always supposed to take.
Lose yourself and find life.
Forget yourself and find love.
Be free of your desires for wealth and fame.
Be free from the shackles of lust and greed.
Be free from the bitterness of resent and hate.
You are an empty vessel. Let love flow in and hate slip away.
Bow down to God.
Bow down to love, and be free.
That's a very beautiful poem Owen, and after reading your previous post, I can understand how you feel. Let me tell you though that I can sense your letting go of the situation, and that is the most painful but liberating part of the process. I suggest reading "What Survives" by Rainer Maria Rilke. It's en francais, but numerous english translations are floating around google. It will give you a great perspective on these things.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poetry! If only more people knew the sacrifice involved in love and dying to oneself as Christ did for us, this world would be a better place :D
ReplyDeleteI love your style of writing. Very thought provoking.
