46. Man at W-R with G-d and Man

Man is at w-r with G-d and Man

As we wage w-r with man and sinful seed our own lives are measured for faithful deeds. The standard being His humbled birth and selfless lead…

– Align then to His humble Birth

Nations are at w-r
and People are fighting!
Throwing words and b-mbs
Seek resolve in g-n-blaze lightning

This folly makes me wonder…
Even more so – to ponder
What is their ‘just’ thinking
This might then dissolve?

How angry are they really!
How much anger is yet to come?
Is this not the rage against
The G-d… they too belong?

Wise counsel to steer the way
Yet, No answer to our frantic prayers!
Angry at This G-d – unmoved
by our demanding charade!

Controversial challenges
Leave us unsettled and unnerved
He seemed not to care, to dare…
Left us dabbling in our despair

For this is not an easy weight
to wear His golden crown
Facing human-stumbles on our path,
reveal our fickle ground…

How rich would you have been,
Without … sincere humbling?
Relentless yield to a Higher Hand
Expose the flaws within

How angry are you really!
Perhaps enraged against This G-d
For no display of tempered clay …
But teaching us obey – HIS ways!

And now…

The poor soul at his Cross, himself
Stand in your way to Ego-Bay
Being the foe… all hell-break-loose;
And none of these to us pertain?

How angry are you really!
Why so deepened in dismay,
Have you looked into your Father’s eyes,
Witness’d grace, His Lovin’ embrace…?

[- for all He has made.]

And even so and maybe yet
It’s not a man,
But G-d…
Standing in your zealous way
At w-r; fought in your stead.

If you so would belong to (your)self
For once adhere His urgent tell!
You could have been at High-Horse-Down,
already really dead!

As yet…

His love and mercy, in and through (us)
Truth’s only source to make us new
In guilt and shame, we all fall short…
‘His glory and renown

You have a name, yes! You are of worth
But so the next, and next man down your curve
A spoken premise, is yet to be lived
In sole-align to His humble birth

Still to Him our love to prove
As weighed in even-scale domain
For the measure of His fullness’ shaped
Is found amongst the dust… and fruit

To dust… from dust, let this be known
This is His Holy Grail
Found on the trodden path
in blood-stained steps
This is…
His Holy ground!
