Overture of Humanity
It doesn’t matter
How far down into the depths
We may travel
There is still another
Covetous of our life
It doesn’t matter
How far into poverty
We do fall
There is still another
Desiring our possessions
It doesn’t matter
How little time
We may have
There is still another
Asking more of it
It doesn’t matter
If we are without food or clothing or shelter
Even for our selves
There is still another
Believing we are better off
It doesn’t matter
How clueless
We may be
There is still another
Demanding answers of us
It doesn’t matter
How much
We do
There is still another
Wanting more
Truly I have seen very few who live without envy
Though I have nothing to be envied
And I have seen very few who live without ignorance
Though somehow I am to answer for theirs
See a man who seeks power
And you will see extreme unbridled envy
For he will even envy those of little power
Exerting his own rule over them
So that they are destitute by his hands
To that end do we see how they who have power
Actually have none
Because they want even yours
Witness how that man of power
Will anger if not given his demand of your life
Cursing his own blessings
Adding impurity to his own foundation
That a lesser man should pay
Oh that men have forgotten
That they did not craft the blessing of their life
And the purpose of their blessings
Are that they should be tested
As to the nature of their will
How many woes will a man purchase
For the greed of his own possessions?
How many woes will a man embrace
For the judgment of his worth over another?
It is not the poor who are put to the test
But the wealth around them are questioned
It is not the weak who are put to the test
But the brutality of they around them is witnessed
It is not the suffering who are put to the test
But the comfortable who mock are accounted for
The meek inherit the earth
Where the Throne of Life will reign
The gentle soul, the easily imposed upon, the submissive soul
They have already won
For they already did their part and portion
It is the response of men
In the face of the oppressed
Being written still
How many woes befall the Pride of men in the cup of their own self-evaluation?
How many woes befall the Greed of men in the desire of their own eyes?
How many woes befall the Sloth of men in the commanding of others?
How many woes befall the Gluttony of men in the consuming of others feast?
How many woes befall the Lust of men in the bed of their own folly?
How many woes befall the Wrath of men in the punishment of their judgment?
How many woes befall the Envy of men in the desire for your life?
Because it is not by the loss of all earthly things that we evaluate our failure
Indeed many are without who are wealthy in Spirit and without the judgment of God.
How then do we believe our understanding of a woe before it arrives?
Our ignorance is astounding.
I am brought to joyful tears
When I see the poor give
And when the wealthy do also
Even unto their enemies
I am brought to joyful tears
When I see the humble make offering
And when also the mighty make offering
Even unto their enemies
For they are already living in the grace of God
All are men and women under the sun
All are born knowing nothing
All have died as they before them
And ALL are given to
By the very same source
And of they who lay in the bed of the deadly sins…
Drink what you hold in your cup quickly
Eat what you have on your plate quickly
Think highly of yourself as long as you can
You have your reward
And of they who lay in the bed of Humility…
Even a person as blind as myself
Has seen the wealth of eternal love in your eyes
Has witnessed the work of your spiritual hands
And has heard your words of actual justice
Even as you seek no credit!
To me, you have the Wealth of God
It is a blessing just to be near you.
