Lust or LoveA Poem by cbellDilemma
Lust creates anger, fear, and shame.
Love creates itself plus truth and forgiveness. Why do we allow ourselves to be controlled by lust? Our national agenda's reflect lust more than love. Our leaders are elected and reflect our moral center. When will we stop, look, and listen to our history? It guides our future but we can navigate better with love. Some say our enemies have no love but they say the same of us. Love and lust are mixed at levels close to 50/50 within the enlightened. Lust keeps us fighting and killing for the greater good in vain. Love keeps us battling for truth and forgiveness. Love is the light of the world. Lust is a poor reflection. Too many who seek revenge have poor sight and seek imperfection. Love is long suffering. Love is tough it can sustain you. Too many sustain themselves with anger, fear, and shame. We must examine ourselves and humble ourselves to know ourselves in good and bad times. Each of us contributes to a collective that controls our collective self. To correct the spirit of one person is to correct our collective. But the virus of anger, fear, and shame spin out of control. It is a battle for the conscious to keep love's light bright. Our thoughts and our spirits are guided by one or the other. Even if our master is Greater Love, lust creeps in suddenly or slowly. When anger overwhelms we are self destructive. Without love we would fall over the edge of no return. The real Jihad is fought within one's self. We are one people with many tongues. But love's spirit is recognized by all. To lust for Love/God is wrong. It leads to holly wars and unneeded offerings. Let Greater Love continuously heal you with truth and forgiveness.
