Song for Maslow

Art: Divination by J.Planet

Song for Maslow

 

One must be self aware

To understand what it means

To be a child of God

 

God meaning Creator

Offers us our inner vision of “should- be”

In Freudian term the super ego

 

Expressed through the heart

Promotes Divine Will

Our actions which cause reactions

 

Filtered through being

To affect change

Which is not self defeating

 

Christ expressed perfect balance

Bringing Divine expectations

Into human behavior

 

For the common good

Of the culture in which He was raised

And many more cultures which adopted His creed

 

Do unto others as you want them to do unto you

Forgotten by the mainstream

Understood by the Buddhists

 

Accepted as Karmatic Law

Remembered by the Wiccans

“What you release into the universe

 

Returns to you by threes”

So do no harm

Yet harm happens anyway

 

I understand about Karma

But I reject interpretations which seeks to spank me

For rules of traditions long since dead

 

If Christ is not here and now

In your breast

Guiding your behavior by sacred law

 

Golden rule of the ages

You’ve missed the point of Gospel

2000 years ago works presented the story of an Individual

 

Who presented an idea

Which resounded in the heartstrings

Of generation after generation

 

Even over the screams of others

Vilifying us over trivialities

So afraid of tomorrow

 

They cling to yesterday

I seek to understand the acceptance

Jesus’ behavior exemplified

 

The faith that would sacrifice self

For the good of the All

I’ve seen it in Gautama

 

I’ve seen it in Mahatma

I’ve seen it in Muhammed

Although I don’t agree with his ideals

 

I’ve read it theoretically in Tao te Ching

The examples are many

But it all comes back to me

 

I am as I am

I will be as I will be

Divine name interpreted

 

Even a child could understand

Sartre was right

About responsibility at least

 

He just never understood the Name

And all it implies

If you want to be near to God

 

Then open your heart to your lover

Your friend

Your enemy

 

Your self

We are the artistry

The reflection of the beauty that is Creation

 

Guided by the Divine Hand

To fulfill our Individual purpose in the world

And trust you do the same to the best of your ability

 

And Love without conditions

Expressing gratitude for life

Through joyful behavior
