The ProposalA Poem by Andrew jamesA little thing to think about every morningThe Proposal This is a proposal
to humanity To see what we all
can do Beginning with a
thought of conviction To help with each day we go through We all seem locked
in a struggle Simply surviving
this life we know But could there
be, more than we see To help one and
all as we go See past the point
of survival To the true core
of what is at hand Could something be
done, more to be won Stopping fear and
hate in the land How easy it is to
see the problem When the results
have gone to far Throwing up our
hands in futility Not caring to see
who we are The problems you see in the world Are the result of
the product of thought It is here we
should seek a solution In the light of
the things we are taught If possessions are
your aspiration This proposal will
not be for you Try seeing past
this feeling of need And know there is more you can do A simple exercise
each morning Say to yourself
when you are alone A statement of
love and conviction So in your heart
the words find a home The words cannot
be given you Their meaning must
come on their own But guidelines may
be given So the way to you
may be shown Start with a
simple understanding Of the world you
wish to now see What is felt and
acted with conviction Is exactly what
does come to be Do not worry about
what may happen Set aside what
this world seems to give Act with faith you
are never alone Understand this
you learn how to live You must change
your direction of site If change you wish
to now see Understand this
loving conviction The first change
must come within me How easy it is
looking outward But fear’s seeds
are planted within For this material
world to change It is within the
change must begin There are those
waiting for a savior Or a prophet to do
their part Not seeing this
world as a result Of the intentions
we hold in our heart Did God place you
here on this earth Waiting on the
action of another to do? Is there nothing for you to contribute? Something you must
see now in you It starts with a
belief in a purpose The reason you
have chosen to live Focus on your
understanding of God Why to you life’s
spark did He give? We all claim to be
created in an image So what is this
image you see? What vision of God
do you know? Is it everything
you hope it to be? Caught up in this
world of our making Living here with
the things we possess While we worry
about every one Give up some to
worry much less Again it comes
back to your site What is it you
hold within view? This object
determines your actions In all that you
say and you do Stop for a moment
and wonder Why this world is
in the state it is in Ask yourself what
you can do now For a better world
to start to begin This world’s state
is set by direction The result of
things that are done We have the
ability to change this So the change we
must be everyone If you as a person
want change Worry not for what
others may do First change the
world lying within The first person
to change must be you Forget what the
world seems to give Focus on the
person you wish now to be If your Will is
based on intention You then change
the person you see What is this
intention I speak of? Why should our
focus lie there? Intention is the
foundation of focus Supporting the
things you now bare What is your intention’s foundation? What belief is
your intention tied to? This belief
reflects your understanding Of the person you
see now as you Your intention is
the voice of purpose What purpose has
God given you? You show your
understanding of God In all that you
say and you do Your are created
in God’s image God’s image must
be reflected in you Revealed to others
through intention Shown to all by
the actions you do Are we merely
physical beings? Is there a soul
you see lying within? The spirit is the
truth to your being Through this your
peace you may win You are created in
God’s image Again, what image
of God do you see? Every soul has
been created perfect Because this is
what God chose to be Has this God set
about to acquire The things lying
here upon earth Is this the God
you see now? Is this what your
God sees as worth? You are created in
God’s image Is this also what
you wish to acquire? If you profess a
God of compassion To this you are
called to aspire Oh, you will say
God is perfect A simple reason
allowing you to give less It is by this
belief and conviction You blame someone
else for this mess You may look to a
savior or prophet To come from
heaven above To suddenly change
this world Hoping to see a
world full of love If you are not
part of the solution Not choosing love
in your heart For this world to
change for the better From you hate and
fear must depart So what is now
said of an answer? For truth will
always lie bare You may become the
solution or problem So choose wisely
for what you now care Oh, but you have a
savior Or a prophet to
show you the way Upon this you
profess a belief Saying your soul
in heaven will stay To believe a
savior for salvation You must follow
the example he gave Then your belief
is shown by example Awakening the
Christ within you are saved Or should a
prophet come down from heaven Leading his people
to heaven above If heaven is a
home to this God Then it must be a
dwelling of love For you to live
with God in heaven No matter of your
religious belief For true religion
has love’s foundation Can you be this
while causing such grief? You are called to
change the direction The way you and
this world will now go For this world is
a result of intentions The result of the
things that you sow What you sow this
world will then reap All action follows
thought at the start Your thought
follows your intention So love’s
intention must live in your heart You show the God
you worship By the things in
your heart you hold dear Do you worship a
God now of love Or follow a God
out of fear Which God do you
choose to believe in? For by your beliefs
you have chosen the way Do you wish to see
a world full of love? Or do you choose
in fear to now stay God is much more
than you know God is more than
the mind can now see So act with
compassion and love Then a part of God
you will then be It was said you
are gods in the making What type of god
do you choose to become Will you become a
god of love or fear? It is up to you to
choose either one Do not wait for a
change in the future For what you think
you will become The change lies
always within It will happen to
you everyone Yes you are gods
in the making Are you a god of
compassion or strife? This heaven or
hell you are creating You choose now in
this very life Your time upon
earth may be short What if it were
already at hand? Which god would
you choose now to follow? With which would
you choose now to stand? Show to all a God
of compassion Not with words for
words can lie You reveal your
God in your actions So it is time to
give love a try Fear and hate can
only destroy With love your
world is born anew A heaven or hell you may create It will happen
with each one of you With intention
founded on purpose And purpose as a
spiritual thing Your God you may
reveal to this world If to it love you
will bring You may choose
these words to think on Or simply choose
to pass them now by Either way the
results will come to you Becoming the god
you choose to now try It is with love
this proposal is given It is with love I
hope you will care Change your world
now for the better Have faith in love
if you dare
