Dry My Tears
Oh Israel, what have you done?
And you Christians?
You Muslims?
You Buddhists?
You Hindus?
You Atheists?
You Believers?
You Non-Believers?
You People?
You Sons of God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Shiva, All There Is?
What have you done to your Home?
What have you done to your Palace?
What have you done to your Playground?
What have you done to the Gift I gave you?
And why?
To bathe in non-existent wealth?
To build towers to nowhere?
To live from the proceeds of destruction?
To foment war and destroy the Peace of others for imagined slights?
To take power and control over that which does not belong to you?
No, not yours because it’s mine, ours!
Everything belongs to us all,
From the tiniest microorganism to the Heavens and beyond.
None of this is yours to take or destroy,
Not a single breath is yours to smother,
Nothing is yours and yours alone,
Nothing!
How dare you destroy my property, my garden, my life!
Who gave you that permission?
Not me nor any I know.
Oh, you decided it was your right did you?
It’s your Birthright, your historic possession, your Revenge?
For what? For nothing!
Revenge is never best served at any temperature,
Revenge is best never served at all.
It’s not too late, there’s still time,
Time to turn around and repair the damage,
Restore what was to what is,
Create New with Love and Compassion,
In cooperation with your Neighbours,
All of them,
For they are also You as I am You.
To continue down your current path only leads to your annihilation,
Turn back before you cross that line,
Before the Chasm opens up behind you,
Before your existence is snuffed out
Like a candle in the darkness.
Desist!
Do not resist!
Allow the Love of your God,
Your Source,
Your All There Is,
Of Yourselves,
To flow,
Freely,
Abundantly,
And allow me to dry my tears.
