Hand

The more you want the more you destroy what I have given to you
For I have given you all that you need
So do not despair about your garments
Do not despair about your status or wealth
Do not think upon the things that concern only the dark rulers of this world
For it is those things which darken and destroy
Turn your eyes from logic and science and comfort and stationary life
Turn your back on civilization
Become friends with the outlaws
The freaks the prostitutes
The insane
The possessed
The sick
The blind and deaf
The lame
And free them from their burdens
Carry them while they carry their crosses
And when they die bury them with dignity
Remove the bonds of this earth the keys have been given to you.
For are they not also our brothers and sisters
Theses ones you call gay
These niggers
These terrorists
These murderers
These rapists
These people that persecute you
You who have persecuted
You Nero's and Hitler's
You spies and traitors
You police and judges
You kings and conquerors
You Juries and Jailers
We are all of these things and you know it
And the only thing that comes out of mans law is unjust judgment
And if you think you have the right to judge men upon the standard of other men then you must think yourself to be God this is the same sin as speaking for God or as it would be called blaspheming.
As it is there are no laws that you do not know when you are born that apply to you
Because if you do not know it then you are not responsible for it
As soon as you know it you must become accountable for it
But there is no one other than God who can judge a man
Since all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Which means you must live in a way
That creates harmony when it is desired and dissonance when it is needed.
You must live like Christ.
You must believe.
You are living in His Story.


Now watch the sky split
The cracks in the dark mirror
The light filters through
And we become new again
Born again
We wake up
We, grown up
We become enlightened
We become emboldened
We become children again
Even as we bear the scars of sin
And watch our bodies turn to dust
Until every last atom in this universe stops moving
We will be alive in Christ
You will not find that in Church
You cannot find that in Mass
You cannot find that in Law or Politics
You cannot find it in anything that has been touched by man
