Cross purposes

---

That secret weapon Christ claimed as a tool

when taken from the pow’rs that dominate,

coerce, control, make others’ plans look fool

-ish; just by letting them, and then await

-ing love’s creative deep capacities

and trusting all his self to its judgement,

above, beyond all pow’rs of enemies,

enlisting “deeper magic” as it’s sent

out ev’ry day, as rain falls on the fields 

of good and bad alike, and gives to each

a joy and pleasure, which helps each heart yield

somehow to love’s big purposes to teach

us how to shine it back in kind, good hearts

to shine the light, in universe so dark

unless there was a light, that truly starts

all life off, just as fire can come from spark.

They wanted more machines, so used up men

& women as machines to serve their “need”.

He wants God’s children, now, as well as then, 

to raise them up, by following his lead -

to grow through all potential ways when let..

that great love, which keeps this whole world in place

(if not for all eternity, I bet

it’s for confinement time, until there’s traced

a coming out of elements & stone…

and wood would do the job of raising love

above desire (to feel good, or atone).

And tree limbs could help raise us up - above.
