apostello*

When Truth and Love hung out, they kissed, conceived,

then sent their baby child to earth to be

a portal (for all Earth then un-believed

that Truth or Love existed, or was free).

Child came with opposite of pow'r and pomp,

with no coercion, only weak-, or poor-,

or foreign-, or old-, people who'd not stomp

on any disobedience, for THEIR  Law

was then the law of love. Though truth be told,

it's function was as news or when asked for,

so people could refuse, or be so bold

as to ignore it - show what's at their core.

Thus each performed the judgement on themself,

by showing their responses in this world

to truth and love when here in full good health

with no pow’r of control (of folk) unfurled.

Though here in deep disguise as builder man,

then occupied in territ'ries of Rome,

with no pow’r 'cept the pow-er that began

this world creatively, to make a home.

He said he came not judging, but to save,

his pow'rful life sought out, and healed, and taught,

his very self, showed love unto the grave.

it's our response to him that’s “judgement fraught”.

He's into life and out the other side,

for death must be encountered to be beat,

his very life has opened heaven wide

and brought it down in rivers to the street-

side level of this hell we’ve unleashed here,

and still he's cooking up more good he said

and left his spirit till he’ll re-appear

and take his place as prince, when death is dead.

And even in this world back then, his trust

allowed Life's super-nat’ral pow-er in.

His life became a portal to bring rust

to bureaucratic structures from the bin.

So never doubt Love's mighty power to work

in you, and then accomplish ’mazing things

through you. It will achieve more than can lurk

in all our wildest, best, imagin-ings!

This pow-er is right now at work in you.

And glory be to Love & Truth's gath'ring,

in their anointed child, so graceous through

all generations of humanity

for ever, and forever, amen, ah!!

Ah-darm, as male and female, will endure.

Since we're en-wombed just now, our beauty's marred,
and growing understanding's immature.
