the earth will be set on fire!

So Jesus said- "I’ve come to set the earth

aright, to burn the cancer at its core.

Irradiation that will kill such blight

as self improvement - only wanting “more”.

As surgeon cuts with scalpel round a mark

that indicates a cancer coming on,

or burns a growth that burgeons in the dark

that’s stopped responding to feedback 'ere long.

And all the body may burn with that fire,

it’s just the cancer will be hit most hard,

for only it lives on it’s own desire,

it bows to no one higher in the yard.

This fire, this passion, burns up all that's fixed

upon itself, and what it wants to do,

for that will lead to boredom that is mixed

with self destruction, for no end’s in view.

“And how I long” he said “for it to blaze”

that’s both - destruction of that zombie life,

and also love for God and folk. He prays

for enemies, his love has grown that rife!

And how I long for every heart to be ablaze with
this fiery passion for God." Luke 12:49 (PM Version)
